Current Events > I've never understood the "so full I need to lie down" mentality

(+) Yeah! (+)

If I'm full the last thing I want to do is lay down. I've got food in me, I'm active and alert, and it definitely feels uncomfortable to lie down when your stomach's full

I always thought that was just a thing in TV shows

uh, shit man. you never ate so much you sleepy? granted, walking does help with the bloatedness, but lying down is so much more comfy

You never got the itis?

A good walk is all you need tbh

It depends on what you eat and how much of it. If it's a lot your body spends more energy digesting it thus making you tired, which makes you want to sit or lie down.

TC if you've never been in a food coma before then you've never lived life to the fullest.

---

Even when I was a total lardass I didn't do this. Wtf, guys

Are you slow?

---

Yeah like after lunch I want to crash. I eat right before bed or close because it helps me sleep.

Any chance you're younger than 25? For most people when the body is still developing, it's less bothered by uncomfortable physical effects. You feel invincible, you feel like you could eat forever, stay up all night etc.
Then you pass the age of 25 and it all goes gradually downhill from there.

Generally im really awake when:
-Im tired
-Ive had little sleep
-Ive just had sex
-Ive just worked out
-Im at the DMV
-Ive eaten a lot
-Its late at night
-Im hammered
-Im depressed

---

Youve obviously never eaten enough at one time

---

Lying down with a full stomach just feels like making the food go back up again imo
---

dude why are you so fucking weird?

When I eat and get full, I'm pretty much useless for a few hours. Reclining in a chair afterwards is the best feeling.

---

When I eat too much I start bouncing around. I'm 31 by the way, so it isn't a case of being young.

You're eating the wrong foods then.

Likewise. Also for me I tend to get tired if I don't eat, but if I do I feel like I get my second wind and can do anything

I've been at a couple of feasts where I ate so much I felt ready to burst, but when your stomach is that full, lying down feels awful. It's one thing if you're just sitting normally (I prefer moving around myself) but laying down all the way at a 180 degree angle? Can't imagine that feels good.

Blood concentrates around the stomach when you over-eat, it makes some people sleepy.

Never really did to me until I was 40 or so.

I fuckin love eating so much I feel like I'm gonna die and then going to sleep. If feels so good.

I don't do it too often anymore, but goddamn is it good. Just house a few pizzas and sleep for a day.

I was talking with someone and I've heard the "food coma" remark a couple of times before, to describe eating so much and feeling drowsy. I've gotten that when I eat alone at home, with nothing to do after, but it's never made me want to actually lie down to sleep. Too full for that
---

Depends on what you eat. Garbage food makes you feel like garbage.

---

I try not to lay down after Ive eaten a lot because its supposed to be bad for you. I typically try to go for some light exercise like a walk or something.

but dang if Im not tempted to just pass out. >_>

Is it like sleeping when you have hypothermia?

My mom and little brother always like that.

After eating they will lying on bed because they stomach full and then next day they will complaint because they become fat.

For me after ate always sit down for 1 hour after that I will lie down
