What foods can I eat that will not make me sleepy?

Answer 1

It really depends on you. Some people get really sleepy after eating a lot of carbs like pasta or breads. Others will be energized by lots of carbs. Carbs, normally will not make me sleepy but eating a huge meal of anything tends to make me lethargic, especially meals with a lot of fat. Foods that are high in sugar or drinks with lots of sugar and/or caffeine will give me a rush but then I crash and feel really tired shortly after.

That said, your best bet would be to not eat huge meals, try eating smaller meals but snacking in between meals. Eat low fat as much as possible, cut back on fast food, sweets and junk food and replace with fruits/vegatables, lean meat and whole grains.

Do some research online or read some books. I also found out that it makes a difference on your personality type, introvert vs. extrovert as to how different foods affect you. I just borrowed this book from my dad that is about 10 years old but still has a lot of useful information.

"Food & Mood" by Elizabeth Somer. I saw it on Amazon.com if you want to take a look.

Answer 2

Habaneros peppers have never made me sleepy.

Seriously, something like what U-2/SR-71 pilots ate before missions might be a good idea. I had a friend in college who had problems with early morning flights, and tried it, and it worked for him. Anyway, what they'd feed those guys was a high-protein/low-residue meal of steak and eggs. They'd be up flying for many hours in airplanes that had to be flown with a great deal of precision, so getting a little sleepy in the cockpit could be a very bad thing.
