Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this urge to return to sleep after breakfast and all the inconveniences this has caused you. This is totally fine and is how his system is programmed. This is not a disease and I suggest you should not get worried by this. Unless there is something else to be concerned about, I will suggest you stay calm and reassured that this is no illness we need to take on at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
