Turkey is well-known for its food coma-inducing effects because it’s rich in an amino acid called tryptophan — a precursor to serotonin — which makes us sleepy.

Alcohol is a nervous system depressant, but moderate consumption of alcohol decreases sleep quality by 24% .

Carbohydrate-rich foods such as cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pie can exacerbate the food coma.
