Turkey makes me…
November 25, 2005 – 12:53 am…sleepy? No, not according to snopes:
Turkey does contain tryptophan, an amino acid which is a natural sedative. But tryptophan doesn’t act on the brain unless it is taken on an empty stomach with no protein present
The protein in the turkey should take care of the problem.

I don’t know about tryptophan, but I sure went straight to sleep between Thanksgiving dinner and desert. My brothers too. After having eaten copious amounts of turkey.
But eating usually either makes me sleepy or awakey anyway.
