I was wondering how it affects others.


Does consuming straight whey protein (no carb or magic additives added) make anyone sleepy?
 
No, I haven't found that.

I was drinking pure, plain whey, with no flavourings, additives, sweeteners, carbs or sugars, just mixed with water for a few months.

I have found that doing a strenuous workout without eating sufficient carbs before or after makes me sleepy.

I'd guess it's not having enough carbs rather than having whey protein that's causing this.
 
Maybe I should have been more specific.

By straight protein powder, I meant something like optimum nutrition or EAS, 2g sugar maybe, no carbs.

I actually drink my post workout shake with a cup of oats, so Im getting carbs.

I also drink another shake, no carbs in the evenings, either way, using milk or water,  makes me sleepy, as in, if I am idle for too long, I out. zzzZZZZ
