Does anyone here fall asleep in the middle of a meal?

I have been dealing with this issue for almost a year now. Ever since I was younger, I have struggled with feeling extremely sleepy during meals. Initially, I didn't pay much attention to it, but in recent weeks, it has become significantly worse. I find myself falling asleep in the middle of eating, and even though I can still hear what's going on around me, I am unable to keep my eyes open. It's affecting my daily life already.🫠

I would perhaps check with a specialist if you don't have a mild form of narcolepsy.

I am no doctor and neither am I medically trained but if that happens frequently, then you really should consult a specialist. Does this only happen when you eat or do you have other situations where you catch yourself falling asleep?

@Stephie It only happens when I'm eating and after a meal. Then I feel sleepy for the rest of the day.

@luvelle If you have been dealing with that issue for a year, then I would really check if there is no underlying medical condition. The strange thing is that it only happens when you eat.

For your peace of mind, please consult a GP or a specialist. Good luck.
