Why do oatmeal and buckwheat make me feel tired?

I've noticed that I get really tired after eating oatmeal or buckwheat for breakfast or lunch. I thought they were slow-digesting carbs, so they shouldn't cause a big blood sugar spike. I decided to remove them from my meals, and the tiredness completely went away. What could explain this? Has anyone experienced something similar?
