For the longest time I have been getting dozy after lunch. Sometimes I feel compelled to take a bit of a nap. I was telling my daughter about this last week and she said that her husband had the same problem. She said they started taking B-Complex vitamins after lunch and that it worked in getting rid of the dozies and giving him the energy to sally forth in his endeavors. So, I started taking B-Complex, and I certainly do now feel energized after lunch.
Thank you, Flobby.

Best way to not get “dozy” after lunch is to eat less, ditto for other meals. Since I reported to Pierini Fitness Boot Camp last August and also started eating less, all the time, I no longer have overeaten food-induced lethargy.
Practicing intermittent fasting has also given me a natural form of energy, particularly mental clarity, not that I was deficient in that department to begin with and this is a common perceived benefit that fasting practitioners mention.
Your mileage may vary.

Yeah, if a person eats too much it will also cause drowsiness.
When I used to eat non-food like breads, I would eat bagels or cookies to intentionally induce drowsiness, then take a nap.

Very brief , intense exertions( e.g. Isometrics)throughout the day can help thwart drowsiness ; perform with exaggerated inhalations and exhaltions

Machine gun like rapid fire violent farting after a big meal has been reported as a way to keep from dozing off. This is according to Gruntbrain.
In my book, this is called FAME, an acronym for fuming after meal emissions.
I have no personal experience to confirm this.

While not for everyone, I generally work out fasted and find that I feel more energized. I had to adapt to fasted-training initially.
Yesterday, for example, I ran slightly over 6 miles during the early afternoon with temperature in the low 90F degrees range during the 21st hour of my fasting period which was 21 hours 49 minutes.
Of course. I’m well-hydrated and ate well afterwards once my feeding window opened.
Your mileage may vary.

Right on, good post! The Japanese have know this for the longest time, they call it Hara Hachi Bu. What a coincidence. That's my nick name for my penis. |

The Japanese Nationals that I worked with at MCAS Iwakuni back in the 90's didn't do this. They all ate their meals and then they all would lay their heads down on their desks and sleep for 30 minutes. |
