This is entirely hearsay but I've also heard that eating a banana before sleep can stimulate more vivid dreams. I'm going to do some reading tomorrow to see what exactly this is meant to be based on.
- tunap 8y agoQuick search results are lots of claims of eating foods high in tryptophan to raise serotonin with little research results included. However, the NIH research suggests(which I am more inclined to trust over commercial sites): Sunlight, happiness, exercise and diet. Fatigue even reduces amino acids that may inhibit absorption of serotonin. As for the diet part: "Although purified tryptophan increases brain serotonin, foods containing tryptophan do not." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2077351/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2077351/
