Why does Michael sleep for hours after consuming a family size chicken pot pie?

Abstract

The classic US sitcom “The Office” follows the day-to-day working life of a Dunder Mifflin paper office in Scranton, with Michael Scott being the incredibly erratic yet surprisingly successful boss. Michael decides to ingest a whole family-size pot pie for lunch, resulting in him falling into a deep sleep for hours. Whilst doing so, everyone else in the office changes the clocks and tricks him into leaving work early. This paper will investigate the relationship between digestion, hormones, and neurotransmitters to explain the mechanisms by which Michael fell into his deep slumber
