1. Eat foods high in tryptophan:
Eat these foods during the day to aid restful sleep and to encourage the release of sleep hormones.
Foods high in tryptophan include: Milk, eggs, meat, nuts, beans, fish, and cheese. Cheddar, Gruyere, and Swiss cheese are particularly rich in tryptophan.
2. Eating to get to sleep
If you have trouble getting to sleep when you first go to bed, eat a high-carbohydrate meal two to four hours before bedtime. You can also include a little food high in fat in the meal as well. This will increase the release of serotonin immediately before going to bed.
Foods high in carbohydrates include: Cereals milk, cakes, candy, sugar, ice cream, dates, figs, chocolate, cakes, fruit pie, potatoes, spaghetti, honey, and jam.
Hope this is helpful.

I do not sleep deeply, unfortunately, but turkey always makes me tired enough to snooze a little.

One food that makes you tired is turkey, because of the MSG, but I guess that would qualify Asian food as well, at least at the Chinese buffets.

Read this article. It is amazing.
Bananas and chamomile tea work wonders. : )
I love "Sweet Dreams" I don't remember who makes it, but you can find it at your grocery store. It has chamomile, rose petals, and mint in it.
Also, try the recipe on the bottom of the page.
good luck sleeping!
