Sleep inducing foods??
Question: What are some good foods/drinks to have at night to make you sleepy?
Answers: The reason we think of turkey as making us sleep is because it contains a good amount of the amino acid tryptophan. Calcium helps the brain use tryptophan to manufacture melatonin, the sleep hormone.
The best bedtime snacks contain both complex carbohydrates and protein, perhaps with some calcium. Dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are one of the top foods for sleep.
Here's a list:
-dairy: cottage cheese, cheese, milk
-soy milk, tofu, soybean nuts
-meats
-chicken or turkey (esp. if cooked with the bone in)
-whole grains (Cheerios & milk)
-beans (humus on Triscuits)
-lentils
-hazelnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds (tahini), sunflower seeds
-eggs
eat bananas, they are like a sleeping pill in a peal!
Turkey comes to mind.
Peanutbutter and a glass of milk. It coats your stomach and helps you relax

A drink water
and the food: fruit or vegetation...
eat banana's, they make u go right to sleep, it's like a sleeping pill in a peel, something about what's in it makes u sleepy, but u hav to do it right as soon u go to bed.
not really food, but hops are a natural sedative also, so have a beer with a turkey leg and a banana and you should go right to sleep.
i know I'm slightly off the subject but.. sit in a dim room, candles are good and also burning lavender essential oil or adding a drop onto a pillow can make you sleepy
A hot cup of milk :)
