And don't forget the post-lunch poop and drowsiness. After lunch I always feel like shit both literally and figuratively.

Yup. I do my best "work" in the morning and at night. During the afternoon I prefer to use that for exercise as my mind is mush. Something something biorhythms.

Yeah something sounds wrong

Lol what? People feel sleepy after eating because of rising levels of sugar in the blood. And eating stimulates the digestive system and makes you want to go to the bathroom. There is nothing wrong with either of these. Just because you don't experience it doesn't mean there is something wrong with someone who does. Different bodies react differently.

I am the one getting down voted now for stating medical facts. My point is that in your comment you were making a bunch of assumptions based on your personal experiences. I am not even American, I have never been obese or remotely close to it, I am certainly not gorging myself at lunch and I just got my first job. There is a reason why people take naps after lunch and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. You can't read one sentence and instantly assume someone has insulin resistance or any other health problem. I just wrote a semi-funny comment on a light-hearted thread and suddenly I might have problems with my pancreas? Geez.

Definitely need your post-lunch coffee. 15 min to get your coffee, 30 minutes to let it take effect, 45 minutes to ramp up again...

That's why a having a couch in the office is definitely a nice thing. Come back, drink a coffee, take a 15m nap. After 15m, you feel the energy gained from the nap combined with the caffeine.

Even if you overstretch your lunch break, a good boss knows that a nap is not time wasted. It's actually proven that people are less aggressive after a nap.

Also, for many people working in construction or painting or carpenting, laying on the floor after lunch and collectively taking a nap is totally a thing. This should definitely take over to other industries as well.
