Why do onions make me sleepy?

[MichaelD]

Everytime I have onion rings with lunch, they make me VERY sleepy in the afternoon. I mean, like drugged_sleepy...really bad. I like onions...but they make me sl..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz. *thunk*

 

[Viper GTS]

Maybe the grease/fat?

I doubt it's the onions themselves...

That's not the onions, it's the drugs.

Steak & Shake onion rings are good.

 

[pyonir]

maybe there are drugs in the onion rings? Same place every time?

 

[MichaelD]

Nope; no drugs here. Clean for more than a decade, thank you. Still drink...but not at work! Maybe it is the grease, like ViperGTS said?

 

[loup garou]

Definitely the grease/fat content.

its their defense mechanism like turkeys so you get tired after eating a couple so the species survives . Crazy evolution.

Maybe it's b/c onions are very much like garlic. Who knows?

It's been proven that it's not the turkey itself that makes you sleepy, but all the food (carbs) you injest along with the turkey, which causes changes in blood sugar.

could be the truckload of partially hydrogenated oil that you nailed your stomach with.

 

[thebestMAX]

Love onions but lately as soon as I eat any, I sneeze. WTF is up with that??

 

[MichaelD]

Hi. I'm still tired. It's gotta be the grease....

 

[IGBT]

I figured you were referring to that turkey tryptophan thing.
