>why people tend to feel sleepy after carb-heavy meals.
No. This is well understood science. The fatigue you feel soon after eating is caused by postprandial hyperglycemia, or a “spike” in blood sugar soon after eating.[1] You can, and I have tested this after overeating carb heavy meals and that's exactly what's going on.
I'm prediabetic, so I watch this carefully as I have a family history of diabetes.
