Anyone ever get suddenly extremely sleepy?

20

Hi all,
I got home from school yesterday, full of energy and feeling perfectly normal. Then I ate a pizza for dinner, and about 30 mins later I was suddenly overcome with tiredness. I was so tired I couldnt even get to my bed, so I just tried to get to sleep with my head on the desk. Eventually I crawled to bed and slept until 10pm, then woke up, and slowly gained some energy back again (felt normal again at about 11pm).
I've been going to bed at normal times etc, so nothing has really changed. Anyone else ever get this?

Yeah i get it quite a lot when im at school, cos its just knackering, but yesterday i was in bed by 10pm, i hadn't even done anything! Well i'd worked 1-5:30 in the shop i work in but thats not what made me tired...sometimes it can be your diet, you may be lacking in something, or perhaps you are not drinking enough fluids. If nothing changes and you have a healthy diet, maybe you should go to the Doc.

its can be an iron deficieny (sp). I would advise going to a docs for a blood test to see, if your worried about it. I did have it in 2003, didn't even realise as I had gone to the doctors for something else, but the doc said he was amazed that I conducted my week as much as I did because my blood count was low. With iron tablets, it sorted the problem out.

Could be the pizza. Over eating makes me VERY sleepy. After some nice food, I usally take a nap to let the food digest, like a snake :biggrin:
