Carbohydrates and sleep

I vastly overdid it yesterday and spent part of the day cooking for a dinner party. Then there was the inevitable wine consumption, only moderate but enough, and the almost inevitable left-overs. Today I lunched on a half-portion of pasta. Almost immediately I felt drowsy and was yawning. An hour later the phone rang and I discovered I had been asleep all that time. I was still tired after the phone call and went to bed and slept for another 3 hours. Unusual even for me at the moment, I haven't felt this way for weeks.

Funnily enough yesterday I was having a conversation with a fellow sufferer and she said she always feel like that. I wondered if it was due to eating a large amount of carbohydrate for lunch. I had been reading another blog which alas I can not find again and the writer suggested that his afternoon tiredness was attributable to eating wheat and or high carbs at lunchtime.

I wonder. I will be monitoring myself. Watch this space.
