Why is it that sometimes when I take a poop, I feel really sleepy afterwards? And I don't mean tired -- I mean lay-down-and-take-a-nap sleepy. I've noticed this happens when I take an exceptionally large poop or have to hold my dump for a while before I can get relief.
Now, I know what you are thinking: and no, I do not strain when I take a dump, thanks to discovering both my parents have diverticulosis when I was in high school. I average 20-30 grams of fiber a day, and have done so for the last ten years in an effort to try and stave off their condition. So I never need to strain; and if I did, I would probably shit out an internal organ since my colon is so good at removing anything and everything from my body. But could you give me some insight as to why I feel the need to fall asleep after birthing a big one?
Thanx,

Dear Mudbutt,
I'm going to guess that you get sleepy after dropping a grande deux because you drop so much volume internally. Your blood pressure probably goes down a bit and your body just needs a bit of time to adjust.
Hope that answers your question!
Happy crappin',
