Wanting to sleep as soon as you are full may be a normal physiological phenomenon, or it may be related to hyperlipidemia, stroke and other diseases.
1. Physiological phenomenon: it is a normal physiological phenomenon to want to sleep when you are full. When you are full, the digestive system needs to digest and break down the food, so the blood that is preferentially allocated to the stomach or digestive tract increases, resulting in a relative lack of blood supply to the head, so it will produce the normal physiological phenomenon of sleepiness.
2. Hyperlipidemia: the lipid content of blood rises after satiety, causing blood flow to slow down, affecting the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, oxygen can not be transported to all parts of the body in a timely manner, for patients with hyperlipidemia, it is more prone to sleepy.
3. Stroke: Stroke patients will have drowsiness before the onset of symptoms, especially after eating a meal, the symptoms are more obvious. In addition, stroke has cerebrovascular lesions, narrowing of blood vessel lumen, insufficient blood supply to the brain, which may lead to ischemia and lack of oxygen to the brain cells, which in turn produces drowsiness.
Want to sleep after eating is more common in life, usually after appropriate rest will be better, if the symptoms are more serious, should go to the hospital in time for examination.
