10 Foods That Help You Sleep
Food #5: Turkey
While you may associate turkey with Thanksgiving, you can have it every night to help you sleep better. There have been many discussions on whether or not turkey induces sleep. Some people have argued that eating large amounts of food during Thanksgiving as opposed to eating turkey could be the reason why you felt sleepy. Many others argue that turkey indeed causes you to sleep. Whichever side you are on, you have probably felt sleepy after a turkey feast anyway.
Turkey is a rich source of protein which can cause you to feel tired after a meal. Turkey also contains tryptophan, the amino acid that causes your brain to produce more melatonin. Increased melatonin levels at night can help you fall asleep easily and to remain asleep through the night.
