Sleep snippets...

Feel drowsy and sleepy after a particularly heavy mid-day meal?
This is due to the requirement of the abdomen for a larger quantity of blood to aid in the digestive process.
The blood supply gets diverted to the digestive organs in the abdomen, which temporarily depletes the brain of its normal supply.
This results in a feeling of malaise and sleepiness.
