this is a great thread. Here's one I would love some feedback on. There is the old saw about turkey making you sleepy but the modern medico know-it-alls insist that it's an old wives tale. They are more FOS than a Christmas turkey.
I have never been able to nap, no matter how drowsy and worn out I was. The one exception was whenever there was a big feed going on with turkey as the main course. Turkey and stuffing with turkey stuff in it, giblet gravy, etc. That was the one time that that nagging little voice telling me I better not nod off would go away and leave me to sawing a few logs in peace. And this was before there was such a thing as the internet. I had no idea what tryptophan was. I didn't know that turkey had that reputation. I just knew that after gorging on turkey, that nagging bastard would go away and leave me to nap peacefully.
And that's my problem. Some inner voice tells me not to go to sleep, I might miss something or something bad might happen. Just a touch of mild anxiety, or hyper-curiosity sort of thing making me fight off the 'z's.. But stuff me full of turkey, and it's goodnight Irene.
