There is another reason you feel lethargic after eating a big meal - blood supply. When you eat blood rushes from the rest of your body to your stomach, and that's a big part of why you slow down.

kidneys, blood levels, salt level, blah blah blah. All the crap I don't remember from A&P. Most people recover very quickly.

Interesting. I just looked it up and discovered that the concentration of tryptophan in turkey is not appreciably different than most other meats. Apparently the idea that Thanksgiving turkey makes you more drowsy than other meals is a myth.

Yeah, it's apparently the total amount of food/alcohol/laziness that tends to make people sleepy on Thanksgiving, but I've been blaming the turkey for years and I'm just not ready to give that up yet.
