Does tryptophan *really* make you sleepy? Here’s the truth

“Tryptophan is an amino acid that increases serotonin levels in the body,� she says. “Serotonin is a precursor to melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep.� In other words, tryptophan could help your body to produce more of this sleepy hormone, but how much do you need to consume for this effect to kick in?
