Thanksgiving Sleep Myth Debunked: Turkey’s Not the Culprit!

Sleeptracker-AI November 25, 2024

Our study of 1M+ sleep nights shows that Thanksgiving ranks with Super Bowl Sunday and New Year’s Eve for poor sleep quality. Despite popular belief, turkey’s tryptophan isn’t to blame. Turkey doesn’t contain significantly more tryptophan than other foods. This amino acid converts to serotonin and melatonin, two chemicals associated with sleep regulation. But turkey doesn’t have substantially more tryptophan than other common foods like chicken, beef, nuts, or cheese.

Real sleep disruptors:
-Overeating
-Carb-heavy sides
-Holiday Stress
-Alcohol

For better sleep:
-Moderate portions
-Balance your plate
-Manage stress

Enjoy dinner and wake up refreshed on Friday!
