Is sleeping normal?

[oldman]

OKay maybe not sleeping itself but something weird happens anytime I take in carbs and no protein I fall asleep.

Let me 'splain better. Today is "cheat day" so I have a bowl of Raisin Bran cereal and not 10 minutes after eating it I am fast asleep for like 2 hours.

This happens anytime I have simple or complex carbs and no protein with it.


Does this mean anything?

thanks

Insulin response!

Ever eat a shitload of pasta and feel like sleeping for days? Same thing....

Maybe a silly question but is it good that this happens? What I mean does this indicate good insulin response? (if that makes sense).

I do know one thing is I have to watch it as I have fallen asleep in the middle of working sometimes.

Pasta does the exact same thing to me unless I eat a bunch of meat with it.

thanks SC

It means you have good insulin sensitivity, yes.

Yeah me too. I know if I eat a good amount of carbs I get pretty tired awhile after. I got a friend that has to fight to stay awake 30-45mins after his whey/dext shake

i have the same problem old. i can fall asleep standing up in the middle of work. plenty of caffeine is the only thing that cures the problem for me.

IT means you shouldn't have carbs without protein

I believe the specific reaction is a release of serotonin.

Large carb-containing meals... (carb-only meals also) induce a mass release of serotonin... Which relaxes you: making you sleepy

Insulin also factors in... It's related to serotonin-release.

Long explanation.

Bottomline: yea you're normal... Additionally tho you shouldn't be consuming carb-only meals generally speaking

THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO TAKE SLIN PWO?

If you were taking exogenous slin, it wouldn't matter since you are introducing slin into your body in a matter other than a natural rise/response.
