Do you feel sleepy when you eat Jollof?

10:22 pm, October 3rd.

I started the day writing, because I was too sleepy to complete yesterday’s entry.

I completed the first draft of my writing, prayed, edited my work, attempted to sleep, woke up, did a little bit of work, and then ate the Jollof from yesterday, because Nifemi gave me Jollof and my mother also made Jollof.

That was around 10:30 am. I slept and didn’t fully open my eyes until about 2:30 pm.

I think eating Jollof makes me sleepy, or is it because I hadn’t slept for 24 hours before then?

For context, the kind of sleep I felt was like the drowsiness you get when you take cough syrup.

This is the first time I’ve noticed it with Jollof rice, but with Jollof spaghetti, it always happens.

Do you feel sleepy when you eat Jollof too?

I forced myself to fully wake up. I did my chores, prayed, drank Garri, and helped the man at my local masjid open a Facebook page and WhatsApp account for his business.

I gisted with my sister, she was in a great mood. I prayed again, then went to work to pick up my phone charger that I forgot. It took me almost two hours. I bought fried potatoes on my way back. And here I am.
