Food Coma

Food Coma

Welcome to English in a Minute.

A coma is long period of unconsciousness.

Your body is alive, but it is not responsive.

Anna, thanks so much for inviting me to Thanksgiving dinner.

You are so welcome. I hope you got enough to eat.

Oh, I definitely ate way too much.

I have to go home and deal with this food coma

Well, if you feel tired from all that turkey,

you can take a nap on my sofa!

A food coma means you feel very tired and sleepy

after eating a big meal

Many people get food comas after the American holiday of Thanksgiving

when families and friends get together to have fun and eat.

A lot

And that’s English in a Minute
