My husband does the same thing. He said he was depressed. he did not take the jab. He does all the cooking because of my Long Covid and much more. He falls asleep soon after he eats and will sleep 2-3 hours also. He never did this until he got covid.

@misslauren I am 70 and used to indulge in a 1 hour nap occasionally, but these 2 and 3 hour coma-type naps after eating are ridiculous. I didn't get the jab either, so I'm sure its a result of the LC. I keep experimenting with what I eat, when I eat or how much I eat to see if that helps, but nothing does so far. My body just shuts down when I take in solid food!

At the suggestion of someone here in the forum, I started drinking a liquid protein drink instead of having my morning meal and that allows me to stay awake longer. But as soon as I eat anything solid, I get sleepy again.
