Is it normal to feel sleepy after lunch?

By Dr. Meera NairKaya Guru Verified

A quick note from the clinic, since this comes up often: an afternoon dip is common, but a heavy crash usually points to how (and what) you are eating at midday. Ask away below.

Often, yes — and how quickly you eat. Keep lunch warm and cooked, chew well, and avoid stacking something cold and sweet on top. A short walk after eating helps too.

This is me every single day around 3pm! Is it the amount I eat?
