The mismatch between these two molecular events is highlighted as a key physiological reason for feeling tired after eating.

The other thing that can happen is you might be eating foods, and this could be a little different for different people, that are causing blood sugar spikes and then insulin spikes. And for some people, if those 2 molecules, so the rise in blood sugar and then the rise in insulin, are not well timed, and maybe you have like a reactive dysglycemia or certain other problems where you might overproduce insulin, you could actually feel very tired after you you have the spike in your blood sugar and then the spike in the insulin, especially if they're not coinciding like they're supposed to.
