Tweetable Quotes “Another one is tryptophan. Now, you may not be thinking tryptophan and you have any relationship, but I guarantee you probably do because tryptophan is in turkey. And there’s a reason people get into a ‘food coma’ at Thanksgiving, because turkey has a lot of tryptophan.”(09:02) (Dr. Brian) “So, I’m gonna tell you something that’s a very sobering reason to not make your bed. Do I have your attention now? There are these little critters called dust mites and they live better when your sheets are on your bed than when they are off. And the reason is because when your bed sheets are on it locks in moisture.”(12:03) (Dr. Brian) “How can dinner help you sleep or actually even hinder your sleep? Well, studies have shown that a high carb and low fat meal can actually worsen sleep versus a low carb, high fat meal.”(13:20) (Dr. Brian) “A warm bedroom is nice and cozy, I admit. But the heat is not neat for your sleep. I like the bedroom around sixty-eight degrees, which is about twenty degrees Celsius. And studies show that people tend to sleep better when it’s cooler.”(16:07) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
