How to overcome sleepiness after lunch?

[integral]

Experiment, pay attention to what you ate right after feeling tired. Notice which foods cause tiredness and which do not.

I used to have a similar problem, and what solved it for me was to stop eating the traditional breakfast/lunch/dinner at set times, and to instead eat whenever I am actually hungry. Just be sure not to go too far with this the point of starving yourself, and be careful to not mistake emotionally-charged cravings for hunger. What I've personally found is that 3 meals a day is not at all a natural way for me to eat, and that about 1-2 meals a day is more my speed, and that's with being fairly active at my full time job. That's only my experience though, it may be different for others.
