Effects of Tryptophane

[Ultraviolet]

How many of you find that tryptophane, the chemical in turkey that supposedly makes one drowsy, actually has an effect on you?

[Ultraviolet]

D'oh. Apostrophe.

*snore*

[Hobo]

I didn't have turkey.

[Janderson]

I drink lots of Coke when I eat, so I think the caffine counters it.

[Disorder]

I like chicken. Does chicken have Tryptophane?

[DaJuice]

It's hard to tell. If you're drwosy it could just be from eating all that food on the table, not neccessarily the tryptophan:/

[DooMBoy]

No, it does not.

It's a myth.

Extremely useful post; should serve as an example to other posters.

Eating a lot of anything heavy served with gravy makes me drowsy. Most likely because of the extra resources needed to digest it and the wine that is usually consumed simultanously. Tryptophane is an aromatic amino acid btw, one of the building blocks of your body (and the turkey's).

I caught a cold the day after Thanksgiving. Does that count?

[Ultraviolet]

I suppose now everything counts. Yay, free spamming thread!

I ate turkey, duck, ham, and chicken. I should be in a coma by now. :P

In large amounts.

I find spam puts me to sleep.

My dad says cream cheese makes him sleepy

[Grimm]

Turkey don't do jack to me.

[Tyockell]

I think its just the fact that alot of people tend to gorge them selves when they have a turkey dinner and the likes, It takes alot of energy to digest food especialy meat so thus some people get sleepy.

I'm sicksies too. :-/

Turkey doesn't gererally make me sleepy that I can recall. Though I've never really tested it.

Hey, if a turkey bites itself for some reason, lets say to bite its nails and swallows it, does that mean it will become sleepy?

[Ichor]

I just had three turkey sandwiches and I'm n...























...huhwhat? Oh yeah, I'm not asleep yet.

Hellll yeah! That one's my favorite too. Heard the In Flames cover, though? I like it because it's just so unlike any of the others, you know, being metal and all.

[Sharessa]

Never heard of In Flames.

I still want to get that one 'For the Masses' album though. Should have gotten that instead of the Singles 86-98 album. But that was back when I hardly knew a thing about them...heh.
