From Wikipedia:\n\n"A previous long-standing hypothesis is that yawning is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen in the blood. The brain stem detects this and triggers the yawn reflex. The mouth stretches wide and the lungs inhale deeply, bringing oxygen into the lungs and hence to the bloodstream. It is almost certain, however, that this hypothesis is not correct. One study has documented that this effect does not exist."\n\nGoes on to newer, updated theories.\n\nAlso:\n\n"The reasons for this are unclear; however, recent research suggests that yawning might be a herd instinct. Other theories suggest that the yawn serves to synchronize mood behavior among gregarious animals, similar to the howling of the wolf pack during a full moon."\n\nGoes on to give other reasons for contagion. <Yawn!> Enough!

What your thinking of is Tryptophan, but, most likely that's not what makes us sleepy.  What makes us sleepy is that we eat SO MUCH food on thanksgiving.  Lots of foods high in calories, we like to rest while we digest that much.  Cranberry sauce, cakes, pies, candied yams, those all have a lot of sugar too, first we feel a "sugar high" then when it "wears off" we feel the "low".

Most human beings can go for 16 to 20 hours without sleep. After 20 hours, the first symptoms are usually listfulness, a noticable kinetic energy depletion in the extremities, lack of mental focus on complex activities, and irritability. A tendency for the eyes to droop and the head to become limp briefly are also indications. Operating heavy machinery (like driving) without sufficient sleep should definitely be avoided.\n\nMood swings tend to increase after a full 24 hour period without sleep is reached, and even the simplest of activities can become cumbersome. If the mind refuses to allow the body to rest beyond this period, the subject can display zombie-like characteristics. While, dementia, hallucinations, and increased levels of crankiness and irritability occur as a sleep-deprived person approaches over 48 hours without sleep.\n\nIt is believed sleep deprivation for more than 72 hours straight can lead to schizophrenia and irreversable brain damage. Although the scientific results are still inconclusive. \n\nThe record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.\n\n- It's impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without even being aware of it.\n\n- Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you're sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you're still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.\n\n- A new baby typically results in 400-750 hours lost sleep for parents in the first year\n\n- One of the best predictors of insomnia later in life is the development of bad habits from having sleep disturbed by young children.\n\n- The continuous brain recordings that led to the discovery of REM (rapid eye-movement) sleep were not done until 1953, partly because the scientists involved were concerned about wasting paper.\n\n- REM sleep occurs in bursts totalling about 2 hours a night, usually beginning about 90 minutes after falling asleep.\n\n- Dreams, once thought to occur only during REM sleep, also occur (but to a lesser extent) in non-REM sleep phases. It's possible there may not be a single moment of our sleep when we are actually dreamless.\n\n- REM dreams are characterised by bizarre plots, but non-REM dreams are repetitive and thought-like, with little imagery - obsessively returning to a suspicion you left your mobile phone somewhere, for example.\n\n- Certain types of eye movements during REM sleep correspond to specific movements in dreams, suggesting at least part of the dreaming process is analagous to watching a film\n\n- No-one knows for sure if other species dream but some do have sleep cycles similar to humans.\n\n- Elephants sleep standing up during non-REM sleep, but lie down for REM sleep.\n\n- Some scientists believe we dream to fix experiences in long-term memory, that is, we dream about things worth remembering. Others reckon we dream about things worth forgetting - to eliminate overlapping memories that would otherwise clog up our brains.\n\n- Dreams may not serve any purpose at all but be merely a meaningless byproduct of two evolutionary adaptations - sleep and consciousness.\n\n- REM sleep may help developing brains mature. Premature babies have 75 per cent REM sleep, 10 per cent more than full-term bubs. Similarly, a newborn kitten puppy rat or hampster experiences only REM sleep, while a newborn guinea pig (which is much more developed at birth) has almost no REM sleep at all.\n\n- Scientists have not been able to explain a 1998 study showing a bright light shone on the backs of human knees can reset the brain's sleep-wake clock.\n\n- British Ministry of Defence researchers have been able to reset soldiers' body clocks so they can go without

Man,you have a good point.I was told by a  preacher years ago that the names on the list of the lamb had been chosen and that there were only 144.000 names.I forget what church I was at but I was young and never returned.

you need to find boy lamb and a girl lamb that love each other very much. Ditto for the cows.

you forgot to mention that you cant leave the sheep with the lettuce or the sheep will eat it and you cant leave the sheep with the fox or the fox will eat the sheep you cant leave them (the sheep with the other 2) unsupervised\n\n1)take sheep to other side\n2)take lettuce over and get sheep \n3)take sheep over to other side and get fox\n4)take fox to other side\n5)go back and get sheep

You are getting very sleepy.

The brain prolactin upon orgasm, which shuts off sexual desire and makes you sleepy. I can't find out how it makes you sleepy though.

dolphins sleep by "turning off" half their brain at a time. They can't sleep as we do because for them breathing is not an autonomic impulse. In other words, they breathe like we move our arms, they need to decide to breathe, then get their muscles to carry out the orders. So a dolphin will shut off half their brain at a time. While one half gets some r & r, the other half makes sure the dolphin keeps surfacing at regular intervals to breathe.

Why we need a siesta after dinner\n15:42 05 June 2006 \nNewScientist.com news service \nLinda Geddes\n\nThe mystery of why we often feel sleepy after eating a big meal may finally have been resolved. Researchers have discovered that high blood glucose levels, similar to those after eating a big meal, can switch off the brain cells that normally keep us awake and alert. \n\nThe findings make evolutionary sense since sleepiness could be the body’s way of telling us to relax and conserve energy once we have found and eaten our food, says Denis Burdakov of the University of Manchester, UK, who led the research.\n\n“It has been known for a while that people and animals can become sleepy and less active after a meal, but the brain signals responsible for this were poorly understood,” he says. \n\nBurdakov’s team studied a group of brain cells called orexin neurons, which are found in the hypothalamus and produce proteins called orexins that are essential for maintaining normal wakefulness in humans. These neurons are less active at night and when they malfunction this can lead to narcolepsy, where sufferers cannot stay awake.\n\nFiring rate\nPreviously, researchers have shown that orexin neurons can be inhibited by glucose, but it was not known how sensitive they were. Burdakov’s team exposed orexin neurons to subtle changes in glucose levels similar to those that occur in the blood during daily cycles of eating and hunger, then measured their firing rate. \n\n“What we discovered is the activity of the neurons can be turned off by minute elevations in glucose associated with normal meals,” says Burdakov. The glucose is thought to act on potassium ion channels in the neurons’ membrane. \n\nHe believes this could explain why we naturally feel sleepy after a meal and also why it can be difficult to sleep when we are hungry, since the activity of the neurons would be higher when there is less glucose in the blood.\n\n“We think orexin neurons make sure that we are awake and alert when hungry, in order to ensure optimal food-seeking,” Burdakov says. He adds that it makes evolutionary sense for animals to turn off their wakefulness and conserve energy once they have eaten their food, since it could be risky or wasteful to expend too much energy looking for more food.\n\nObesity trigger\nChanges in the sensitivity of orexin neurons to glucose could lead to obesity, Burdakov speculates. \n\nOrexin neurons are known to help regulate appetite and metabolic rate, and when they become faulty this can trigger late-onset obesity. Researchers are currently trying to understand exactly how orexin neurons interact with other brain circuits involved in appetite regulation.\n\n“The role of orexin neurons in the control of numerous central nervous system processes makes the discovery of their ability to sense small changes in glucose potentially quite important,” says Joel Elmquist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, US, writing in a commentary accompanying the paper in Neuron. \n\nThis is because it means a whole range of physiological processes can be regulated by the amount of fuel that is available. “Dysfunction of glucosensing may have profound effects on wakefulness and coordinated autonomic responses,” he says.\n\nJournal reference: Neuron (vol 50, p 711)
