You will find that Todd recommends taking a nap in Vata time of the day, 3-5 pm, along with a herbal receipe to address sleep issues. Experience of few patients of this author with Ashwagandha is that even if sleep is disturbed due to the need to visit rest room, it gets restored in few minutes and whole day goes fresh, provided ashwagandha dose is carefully regulated. Else, a little drowsiness is experienced after meals. If carbs in the meal are increased, blood sugar shoots up and this often causes drowsiness. Excess food in lunch may also cause this state. If this is not the cause of temptation to " nap " , body is demanding it as a result of mental/physical exhaustion and it is better to take the nap rather than commit prajnaparadha. Getting a sound sleep is a healthy sign, as long as one is not disturbing others by snoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks for your answer. I get sleepy after I eat often even when I don't eat carbs. I believe I may have food allergies and will get tested soon, I hope. ................................................ Please read message post# 8687.
