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.
Although the research is a bit spotty when it comes to which foods help or harm sleep, anecdotal evidence does suggest that certain items consumed right before bedtime are more likely to be âsleep promotersâ while others may be âsleep stealers,â says Russell Rosenberg, Ph.D., CEO of the National Sleep Foundation.
