9 Foods That Can Make You Feel Sleepy
Dairy
product
Among
all
the
other
dairy
products
,
hard
cheeses
have
the
most
relaxing
effect
as
they
contain
a
large
amount
of
calcium
.
Adding
crackers
to
the
cheese
will
produce
a
stronger
sleep-inducing
effect
as
carbohydrates
intensify
the
function
of
tryptophan
.
Almonds
Almonds
are
rich
in
tryptophan
,
an
amino
acid
that
produces
melatonin
which
is
often
known
as
the
"
sleep
hormone
."
In
addition
,
these
nuts
are
packed
with
magnesium
which
eases
muscle
tension
and
makes
you
feel
drowsy
.
Walnuts
Walnuts
contain
less
tryptophan
than
almonds
,
yet
they
have
their
own
source
of
melatonin
.
Research
showed
that
walnuts
increase
the
level
of
this
hormone
in
the
blood
and
make
you
feel
quite
sleepy
.
Cherries
Cherries
,
particularly
tart
cherries
,
have
a
relatively
high
melatonin
content
.
However
,
eating
a
handful
of
fresh
cherries
won't
make
a
difference
.
Drinking
a
glass
of
cherry
juice
will
put
you
to
sleep
in
no
time
.
Chamomile
tea
Chamomile
is
packed
with
glycine
,
an
amino
acid
that
has
a
mild
sedative
effect
which
relaxes
muscles
and
the
nervous
system
.
After
a
cup
of
chamomile
tea
,
you
can
barely
keep
your
eyes
open
and
focus
on
important
issues
.
Pumpkin
seeds
In
addition
to
tryptophan
,
pumpkin
seeds
contain
hefty
amounts
of
zinc
and
magnesium
.
These
compounds
make
you
calm
and
relaxed
,
and
you
can
hardly
resist
the
temptation
to
doze
off
for
a
few
minutes
.
White
rice
White
rice
has
a
high
glycemic
index
which
can
cause
drowsiness
3
to
4
hours
after
you've
finished
your
meal
.
Researchers
have
found
that
jasmine
rice
,
in
particular
,
brings
on
sleep
faster
than
other
rice
types
.
Oily
fish
The
acids
contained
in
salmon
,
tuna
,
and
other
oily
fish
increase
the
production
of
melatonin
.
These
acids
reduce
the
level
of
stress
hormones
in
the
blood
,
and
the
only
thing
you
want
to
do
after
eating
is
to
curl
up
and
sleep
.
