I have effectively zero knowledge of Japanese, but I'm trying to learn :D Out
of curiosity I tried to see if something like the german "Fresskoma" (english:
food coma?), i.e., the lethargic state after eating too much food, exists in
Japanese. I came up with 食品昏睡 (probably ridiculous :D), but then I found
[this](http://ja.termwiki.com/JA/food_coma), which suggests that 食品昏睡状態
actually exists. Is that an actual thing? :)

question
translation
Is 食品昏睡状態 a thing?
食品昏睡（状態） is not a word and doesn't really make sense...

> "Fresskoma" (english: food coma?), i.e., the lethargic state after eating
> too much food

Literal translations would not work here... I think you could translate it as
「[食後]{しょくご}の[眠気]{ねむけ}」「食後の[睡魔]{すいま}」「[満腹時]{まんぷくじ}の眠気」 etc., or explain it as
「[食事]{しょくじ}のあと[眠]{ねむ}くなること」「[食]{た}べたあと眠くなること」「[満腹]{まんぷく}になると眠くなること」 etc.
