This article discusses whether Thanksgiving turkey makes you sleepy. Contrary to popular belief the answer is NO. The reason people think that it does is because turkey has tryptophan (an essential amino acid that we get from food) which eventually becomes serotonin and then the serotonin eventually becomes melatonin (which makes you sleepy). In the end it's not this that makes you sleepy, but just having spend a whole day with family, doing a lot of activities and drinking.
