Why do people get sleepy after eating a big meal?
The sugar from food stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.
Digestion is increased by the parasympathetic nervous system, which also relaxes the body.
The body needs to maintain homeostasis of blood sugar concentration, so the body shuts down.
The body switches over to the parasympathetic system because the sympathetic system has been active for too long.
