What on earth is going on ?

[flump1]

Every evening after eating my dinner I am unable to keep my eyes open and simply fall asleep all in the matter of a few minutes. Sometimes it happens after I have eaten lunch, more often than not I am able to rouse myself and carry on with my afternoon. I go to sleep quickly , usually with the lap top in situ ! Even been in the middle of a game ! Any ideas why ?

Thanks for that daffy, this hasn't been going very long and it is annoying !!

I'm no expert, but maybe try not eating very much, and keeping it high fibre / low sugar. You could try having a series of small salad-type snacks instead of a meal.

Sometimes dehydration can make you feel very sleepy, try upping the fluid intake and see if that makes a difference

Suggest to your GP that perhaps an underactive thyroid may be the cause and blood tests might be helpful.
