Answer

I believe most of the drowsiness is caused by going hypoglycemic after an insulin spike.

- Eat lower glycemic index foods

- Eat your protein and fat first, then carbs (shown to blunt insulin spike)

- Exercise after eating, even as little as a 5min walk, helps blunt the blood sugar / insulin spike

- Don’t eat so much that you are physically stuffed

- Skip desert and alcohol
