Sleepiness After Eating

@quickstepper I recently read a couple of articles about the "rest and digest" theory and the nervous system being out of balance. It makes sense. Sadly, the only recommendation is to sleep when you're tired. That wouldn't be so bad if I could just take a short 30 - 60 minute nap. But my naps are usually 2 - 3 hours and are very deep. To the point that I wake up so groggy that it takes another 2 hours to get my body moving again. By then, the day is almost over. I just get so frustrated with it all. I'm sorry that you suffer the same sleepiness after eating, but it makes me feel better to know others are in this boat with me. Thank you. ❤

@shelleyr the naps are getting shorter from the 1 and 2 hour ones I had to take for the first year of Long Covid. I'm in my second year and now sometimes now I just need to rest for 30 minutes and doze off for 10 minutes. Hang it there. Things have very very slowly gotten better for me.
