I'm pretty aware of what I'm eating, so I don't think it's the carb rush, or the 'all the blood is digesting the huge lunch' scenario either. I usually have a banana before leaving the house, some nuts, or a clif bar mid morning, and a small sandwich for lunch. And I'm sleepy despite enough caffeine to kill a small elephant.
Perhaps it is that by body isn't used to the extra exertion. I'll give it time, and hope my body adjusts. If I could take a nap, I would, but if I was caught snoozing, i'd get fired...
You get lunch, don't you? Take a quick cat nap then. I set my watch to alarm at around 1300 and go back to work. It actually makes me more alert during the afternoon. Especially when I have to go hear a lecture on "The thermodynamics of biomass conversions utilizing oxygen deprived nitrogen rich atmospheres as applied to thermochemical processing of wood and plant fiber." Mainlining pure caffeine can hardly keep you awake during that.
