Blood Sugar and L-Tryptophan and Your Sleep

Posted Aug 24 2008 3:28pm

Blood Sugar

Eating a food that has a high sugar content can raise the blood sugar level of your body, act as a stimulant and interfere with your sleep, agrevating your insomnia. Ever see kids cranked up on sugary pop and cake bouncing off the walls? So avoid the late night cookies, cakes, pies and sodas.

L-Tryptophan

L-tryptophan is an amino acid that is found in dairy products and is a natural sedative because it stimulates the production of the brain chemical serotonin, a chemical associated with sleep.



You can purchase L-tryptophan in health food and drug stores, but why not try the original formula; a warm glass of milk.
