Contrary to popular belief, eating turkey will not make you drowsy. While the food may be rich in tryptophan, it doesn't contain enough of the substance to cause sleepiness. If you want to serve your child a bedtime snack that helps to promote sleep, choose a carbohydrate-rich snack like cereal or whole-grain toast instead.
