    I just said the same thing to my co-worker.  After I eat lunch I am always ready for a nap.  I am just looking forward to frozen yogurt snack at 2 that will wake me up!

    Yeah I was thinking about grabbing a soda and hoping that will wake me up a little. But I want to wait till a little later too. I wish I had some Rita's right now! That would be perfect!!

    Yes! It's like first tri for me all over again. I'm napping on my couch during lunch break (I have a private office) and I have to set my Blackberry alarm or I will sleep all afternoon. I really conk out quickly.

    Whew, glad I'm not the only one.  I can barely lift my head after lunch... it's a hell of a struggle and then I have about 4 more hours to go at work!

    It's actually a pretty common occurance (hence the not-so productive afternoon meetings)

    After you ingest food... a lot of the blood rushes to your stomach and intestines to absorb the nutrients...making you sleepy... it's a primative way of conserving energy and storing nutrients...
