Question: Excessive sleepiness after meals that is unbearable! Could this also be a medical condition?

It's called post-meal drowsiness.

Because of the overwhelming sleepiness that comes about an hour after eating

It is to the point of interfering with work.

Even when I hold my eyelids with my fingers, my eyes still close.

I just can't stand it anymore, so sometimes I work and then lie down on my desk and doze off.

Question: Excessive sleepiness after meals that is unbearable! Could this also be a medical condition?

Even after meals, I inevitably feel drowsy while driving. During driving, I use rest areas or service stations to take a quick nap, but when I'm working at the office, I just rest my head on the computer and doze off.

It doesn't go the way I want it to.

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with my body, and I get worried.

Could my symptoms be related to a medical condition?

Should I see a doctor at the hospital?

    저도 그런데요.
    그런 느낌이 싫어 점심은 안먹은지 10년도 넘었어요
    낮시간에는 과일이나 견과류 간식만 먹어요

    춘곤증이 병이라고는 생각하지 못했는데 어쩌면 질병인 사람도
    있을 수 있을 것 같아요.

      너무 심하니깐 고민 되네요.
      병원 가서 문의라도 해봐야 될까 봐요
      좋은 하루 되세요

    원래 식사후에 잠이 쏟아지는 거는 일반적인 증상이긴 한데요. 
    그게 심하면 당뇨 전조증상이긴 해요.

      근데 다행히 당뇨는 없어요.
      아픈 증상이 아니라 다행이긴 한데
      그래도 심하게 잠이 쏟아지니 걱정이 되긴해요

    저도 너무 그런 게 심해 견디기가 힘들어요.
     어떤 때는 서서 자는 경우도 있어요.
