Does too much fat make us sleepy?

Not sure what this means. But it suggests high fat diets may induce sleepiness even when BMI is normal and no apnea is present. My question, which the study does not address is type of fat and whether that is a factor or is it simply the ratio of fat to calories. I do recall a video from nutrition facts.org suggesting something similar. Thanks to Dean for that fascinating link!
