A lot of us are potassium deficient. This has been known for a long time: http://sacfs.asn.au/medical/adelaide_uni_research_3.htm
Extra fatigue after eating can have many causes. One I would like to point out is orthostatic intolerance. It can get worse because lots of blood suddenly goes to the gut to digest food instead of the brain to keep you alert.
Personally I also have a growing list of food intolerances that can cause fatigue.
Our hypothalamus is often not regulating circadian function right, so the usual pattern is low cortisol on waking, and high cortisol when trying to sleep, the opposite of what we want.
These things are multifactorial.
