Why do i get sleepy after i eat?!

Why do i get sleepy after i eat?

lately, after i eat i get really sleepy. does any one know why. or is there even any correlation between them?

thanks. :)

I believe that it is because your body uses more of its available energy to break down the food it just took in.

Also, I heard somewhere that certain foods have these chemicals that relax your body and make you feel tired.
