When we experience fatigue after eating a meal, it can feel like we need to crawl into bed. There is no excuse for missing a meal, especially breakfast.  General overeating and the consumption of particularly fatty meals can leave you feeling sleepy. The quantity of food you eat is another major factor in how you feel after a meal.
