What Causes Sleepiness After Eating?

After I eat something usually in the afternoon I get very sleepy about 20 minutes to half hour afterwards. If I m moving around or doing something I m OK, if sitting or driving I cant hardly keep my eyes open. When I pull over and rest for about 10 -20 minutes I m find after that. Is this normal or should I be concerned ? thanks for your time and thank you for what you do ! Regards Dean
