| Jean 11-03-2002 07:06 AM | Hi Wai, Why raw eggs compare to other protein sources can make you feel sleepy? Why would it need more oxygen to process than other proteins? |

Yes, fresh raw egg yolks can make you very sleepy, but it has nothing to do with it's protein composition or required oxygen; The reason lays in it's extremely high good cholesterol contents. Cholesterol indirectly activates the serotonin receptors in the brain, which can make you sleepy, drowsy and/or happy. (depending on your serotonin metabolism).
