Other posters have suggested tryptophan, and they may be right - but it could also be to do with the size of the meal. After a big feast, it takes a lot of digestion so the body diverts the blood supply to get working on it. That means less available energy for other areas, so you feel tired and all you want to do is sleep it off. Perfectly natural.
