I believe what induces sleep is melatonin. Melatonin is a protein made up of tryptophan, the amino acid. Melatonin is derived from serotonin.

Once serotonin has been produced from tryptophan in the body, it can be converted into another important molecule — melatonin.

Sounds like your breakfast is full of tryptophan!

Of course you could have a meatless breakfast, such as oatmeal. Large breakfasts also lead to lethargy because it takes a lot of energy to digest large meals.

Instead of changing breakfast, I change my behavior to wake up at 7 am for earlier breakfast, so I feel less sleepy at 9 am. However, should I take nap after breakfast between 7:30 am to 8:30 am? Is this behavior bad for digestion system (sleep after eating directly)?

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

Not necessarily, you may take a nap whenever. Also be mindful that sleep patterns are learned. Perhaps you taught yourself to be tired after breakfast; perhaps it has nothing to do with your meal, but your scheduling
