Health Blog Video: Is It True Thanksgiving Turkey Will Put Me to Sleep?
Published On: November 23rd, 2011
Is it true the turkey dinner that millions of Americans will dig into Thursday is sleep-inducing?
We tackled that question as part of our “Is It True?” video series here at the Health Blog — you can see the video below. (And look here, here and here for our previous videos, on smiling and mood, the freshman 15 and melatonin’s effects on sleep.)
The WSJ’s Christina Tsuei reports that the “food coma” many of us experience doesn’t have a clear cause — but it’s not a result of a rush of blood from the head to the stomach to aid digestion. That post-meal slump may not even be related to food or digestion at all, she reports.
Watch the video, and read the WSJ’s In the Lab column today on what happens to your body after a massive meal.
