【No. 0290】Sleepiness after a Meal
Oct 4, 2015 14:27
Have you ever felt sleepy after your meal?
It is considered that this symptom is caused by a brain hormone "orexin."
Humans secrete orexin when hungry, then they get the urge to eat something, and the wakefulness is promoted.
However, when the belly is full, the secretion amount of orexin will decrease, and it will make us feel sleepy.
Therefore, you can keep wakefulness by skipping your meals, but don't do that because it brings more harm than good.
In order to increase the amount of orexin, and keep wakefulness, you should taste and enjoy your meals slowly over time.

食後の眠気
食後に眠気を感じたことはありませんか？
これは、脳内ホルモンの「オレキシン」が原因だと考えられています。
人間は空腹になるとオレキシンが分泌され、何か食べたいと感じるようになり、同時に眠気を覚まします。
しかし満腹になるとオレキシンの分泌が減り、眠くなります。
そのため食事を抜けば眠くなりませんが、デメリットが大きいので抜いてはいけません。
ゆっくりと食事を味わい、楽しむことで、オレキシンの分泌が増え、眠くもならないようです。

Good job ^^b
I have a Q though ^^;
What's the difference b/n 食後に眠気を感じたことはありませんか？and 食後に眠気を感じたことはありますか？
Toru
Thank you so much for the comment! :)
These are almost same, and I think many Japanese don't care about the difference, but there is a principle.
(In most cases,)
If you say "～はありませんか？," this will imply that you expect positive answer.
If you say "～はありますか？," this will imply that you expect negative answer.
I said "食後に眠気を感じたことはありませんか？," so this means that I expected to get positive answer, such as "経験したことがあります。"

That explains a lot. haha
It can be quite difficult when you're hungry though - the hands do not cooperate and just shove food into your mouth at high speed.

It is said that eating with someone is good, because the conversation will prevent us from eating quickly.
