Does anyone else get sleepy after running?

After my roadwork for the day I’m usually knocked out for at least an hour, especially if I follow up the run with a meal(breakfast)
 
Yes this has happened to me before. More than once after a run I have fallen asleep on a couch.
 
Only after 15+ mile long runs, shorter daily runs, nah.
 
You had an EKG lately?
I went to the doctor recently and mentioned I feel sleepy all the time (among other things). They checked my blood, prescribed me some vitamin D and told to come back in 2 months if I still feel like shit. Perhaps I should bring this up.
 
Depending on time of day and calorie timing, either wide awake or ready to sleep.
 
I used to run 10 miles in an hour give or take. No fucking way i was sleepy. Its like a fucking natural adrenaline rush. I miss it. I need to get back into at least riding bike since i got runners knee.
 
I suspect getting sleepy means not getting enough oxygen to where it's needed, so maybe not enough blood flow, not enough nutrients that are responsible for moving the oxygen, etc.

When I used to take the crowded bus, I would get sleepy and think it had to do with oxygen level lowering and breathing in more carbon dioxide.
 
If I really gave a good jog, I do feel spent and out of it. Probably take a shower after and than head to bed.
 
Ten mile or so run and I'm fucked for the day. Lethargic , mentally a bit drained. It's a huge calorie deficit and I problem don't time my recharge properly
