Re: tryptophan       07/02/05 09:42 AM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 People respond differently to different forms of tryptophan. You'll stumble upon the one that just magically clicks and be able to manipulate it appropriately for some good zzz's. A banana does it for me. So does spinach and asparagus and swiss chard and rice. I'm quite frankly a poor sleeper and have always been that way and have prescription sleeping pills. You can also get tryptophan supplements. Some people have difficulty converting food into the amino acid tryptophan I took it for awhile and it worked, but I just can't deal with popping more pills and more nausea. I've been catching siestas. Lately, what works for me is sleeping with music on, really loud music--usually alternative and punk in nature. I'm playing with the "white noise" effect, i.e. creating a sound layer/buffer so I don't hear the sounds of the house, i.e. a/c, furnace, water, etc. Peaches and mango also put me right out like a baby, but I've got to watch it because they just go right through me. Let me know when you find/create a good formula that works for you, Barbara Lynn. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
