I've been noticing that I get sleepy after eating avocados? Is that normal? It doesn't matter what time of the day I eat them, I usually have to take a nap afterward.... [Roll Eyes]

yes, that is quite normal
you can have the same with nuts, salmon and egg yolks, because of the fat they contain; oleamide (a fatty acid) activates serotonine receptors, which can make you sleepy...
