I haven't tried this, but I can tell you when we have patients coming in for a sleep study, we recommend they AVOID caffeine (tea, coffee, chocolate, etc) for 24hrs preceeding the test, and avoid napping (because we need them to actually sleep, they call them "sleep studies" for a reason, lol!). We also recommend they otherwise stick to their ususal routine, including eating behaviors.

Tryptophan is a known depressant, and as mentioned is present in most birds, particularly turkey.

If you're dieting, remember, carbs before bed will be converted to fat, lol!

peppermint or lemon tea
oh and cold chicken
