Large doses of Tryptophan can make you sleepy, but the amount you get in turkey doesn’t come close. Thanksgiving meals make you sleepy because you eat a huge meal. Eat a huge meal without turkey and you will be tired, eat a normal sized meal with turkey and you won’t be more tired than any other meal.
yup its the insulin/high blood sugar levels that are causing it. its more significant in people who have type 2 or prediabetes. people have reporting sleepiness after a large meal, especially if it includes alot of carbs.
