because blood is shunted to the digestive system to digest the meal so we have less blood available for brain function. the heavier the meal, the worse the sleepliness. also, some foods have tryphopan whic is a naturally occurring precurser to a neurotransmitter which elevates the mood and relaxes us. turkey and other proteins has a lot of this chemical.
