If it does why does it make you sleepy?

Yes I think it does because it contains some substance that aids sleep.

I have been told that a lettuse sandwich helps you sleep cause a substance in one reacts with another and is a natural sedative. Don't know if it is true or an old wives tale. Sorry I can't help more.

It can help if you have sleeping trouble, but it wont ever have a dramatic effect, its becuase its related to the opium family of plants, the better stuff is nearer to the root or the core.

I don't know about lettuce, but I know turkey does and it's because of a naturaly occuring drug called Tripiphane (spelling?)

:)) Does not make me sleepy, makes me yawn with boredom. Cattle-food is what my Dad calls it, he refuses to eat andy salads and classes all salads as rabbit-food or cattle-food.:)

No. If it did, eating salad before bed would be all the rage. Turkey and other foods containing triptophan do make you sllepy.
