Extreme sleepiness after eating

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

I feel very sleepy after eating a meal. It is not the usual drowsiness that most people experience after eating. I feel extremely sleepy and compelled to take a nap. This is also affecting my productivity at work. I checked my blood sugar levels both fasting and PPBS and they are normal. My vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels are low. Please advise what should I do?
