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.
Recommendations If you want to fall asleep more easily, eat a high-carbohydrate snack and avoid high-protein foods in the hour or two before bed time. In the evening, eat turkey, bananas, figs, dates, yogurt, milk, tuna, and whole grain crackers or nut butter. These foods are high in tryptophan, which promotes sleep.ugar and foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. These raise blood-sugar levels and can cause a burst of energy that disturbs sleep.
