Sleepy after Lunch

(Intended to be casual writing)
I hear it's natural to get sleepy after eating. I just finished a cup of green tea with some match after lunch and almost dozed off for a while, as usual. I started using the match yesterday because I heard the health benefits of it, but apparently I didn't use enough of it for caffeine intake. I have to be careful about caffeine, though, since I have difficulties falling asleep every night. It is also torturous when getting sleepy at the wrong time, isn't it?


昼食後の眠たいひととき
食べた後は眠くなるのが普通だと聞きます。私は昼食後のお茶を済ませたところで抹茶も入れたというのにしばらく眠くてたまりませんでした。いつものように。昨日から抹茶を使い出したのです。抹茶が健康にいいことを聞いたからですが、カフェイン接種量としては十分な量ではなかったようです。私はカフェインには気をつけないといけないのですが。毎晩、眠れなくて困っているので。変な時間に眠いのも辛いですよね?

English actually has a colloquial term for severe cases of this: "food coma." For example: "Man I had such a bad food coma after lunch, I think I ate too much."

I never hear "torturous" in casual speech. I might express this informally like this:

"It's such a pain to get sleepy at a bad time, isn't it?"

The key to making this sound casual is in how you express "bad". Here are other ways:

"Such a drag when..."
"So annoying when..."
You could also use swear words when in very familiar company, though be careful.

Wow. A lot of good information for me. Thank you! :)

Sleepy after Lunch

(Intended to be casual writing) I hear it's natural to get sleepy after eating.

I just finished a cup of green tea with some matcha after lunch and almost dozed off for a while, as usual.

The sentence is good! However, when you say 'almost dozed off', it sounds like you mean 'almost fell asleep, but didn't'. If you did sleep, it might be more natural to say 'dozed off for a while'. If you didn't sleep, then it makes more sense to say 'almost dozed off'.

I started using the matcha yesterday because I heard theabout its health benefits of it, but apparently, I didn't use enough of it for adequate caffeine intake.

'Caffeine intake' or 'adequate caffeine intake' sounds a little too formal for casual writing. Sometimes people say 'a boost of energy'. So, I might say 'I didn't have enough of it to get a caffeine boost', but your sentence is good!

I have to be careful about caffeine, though, since I have difficulties falling asleep every night.

It is also torturous when getting sleepy at the wrong time, isn't it?

It is also tortuous to get sleepy at the wrong time, isn't it?

I am not sure what you meant by “with some match”. Did you mean matcha?

I started using thedrinking matcha yesterday because I heard theof its health benefits of it, but apparently I didn't use enough of it for the caffeine intake to take effect.

I assume you mean matcha?
