The good news is that there are foods you can eat to induce sleep and if you are having trouble staying awake, there are foods to eat for that as well. In the body there is a neurotransmitter called serotonin. This neurotransmitter is used to regulate sleep, sensory perception, mood, depression and body temperature. When you ingest foods such as chicken, eggs, cheese, tuna, milk or nuts, which contain a chemical called tryptophan, the levels of serotonin in the body increase, which helps to induce sleep.
Sometimes we consume foods that induce sleep, thereby constantly making us feel lethargic. Foods that induce sleep often contain tryptophan, which is an amino acid, and affects our body clock, changing the sleep cycle. If your food contains more tryptophan, it is likely to make you sleepy rather quickly.ou could also eat ripe bananas, pecans, honey, grapefruit or even soy. All these items induce sleep. Foods like artichokes, spinach and black beans can help combat anxiety and eventually relax you enough to fall asleep. Bell peppers, tuna, chicken and fish such as halibut can also induce sleep.
