What can I do to stop falling asleep?

[Tyler Robinson]

I've specifically noticed during winter I feel very sleepy immediately after eating food. I almost fall asleep after a few morsels. 

What can I do to stop falling asleep immediately after eating?

How’s your diet ?

I’ve noticed this happens to me if I’m eating foods packed with fat and carbs.

@Lyubov my diet is this - 

My weight is 55 kg. 

Breakfast - 

Milk/ tea with 3 toasts max. Sometimes a bowl of cornflakes or oats with milk. 

Lunch - 

3 crepes with a bowl of mix veggies. The bowl is size of palm. 

Dinner - 

3 crepes with a bowl of mix veggies and 3 pieces cucumber. 

 

Veggies include - cooked slices of following 

Carrots, potatoes, beans, onion, garlic, tomatoes, salt, broccoli, cauliflower, bottle gourd, spinach leaves, fenugreek, brinjal, button  mushrooms,cabbage, beetroot, capsicum, radish, peas etc. 

 

Sometimes I replace crepes with traditional sandwich bread. 3 bread loaves each time dinner or lunch.

Crepes are pancakes?

Seems like your diet is very high carb low fat.

You could try replacing the crepes/bread with eggs fried in olive oil or avocado oil.

Your protein intake seems to be dangerously low, and fat too tbh. But this falling asleep doesn't depend only on what you eat. How are your energy levels during the day?

I would start by including or putting more on your plate a variety of these things, adapted to how much you usually eat (not to have radical shifts in your diet): eggs, lentils (lentil soups/dahls are great during winter), nuts and seeds, beans, organic soy products, lean meat (if you eat any), greek yogurt.

When you say "crepes" do you mean the Indian dosas that usually come with dips and stuff? Is that stuff also made of flour, eggs and sugar?
