I read somewhere that if you eat alot of carbohydrates, it releases some chemicals that can make you feel sleepy.

Also, I think another reason may be the decreased blood flow to the brain. When you eat alot, the body immeadiately starts pumping blood to the stomach area (so as to "absorb" all those nutrients). Decreased blood flow to the brain means DECREASED OXYGEN levels. Hence, you may feel drowsy, start yawning, fall asleep with food still in your mouth, etc.

My personal theory, anyway.
