EatingWell.com reports that a study from the British Cheese Board showed that cheese contains a sleep-inducing amino acid, tryptophan, that can help you get to sleep at night. In the study of 200 volunteers, each person ate approximately three-quarters of an ounce of cheese a half hour before going to bed. None of the volunteers had nightmares, and 72% of them said they slept well. Sweet dreams!

I found a wonderful way to make lasagna on the stove top in a pan. After eating I felt very tired and couldn’t seem to move. I finally slept for about 3 hours. I stayed up for about 3 hours and then slept 10 1/2 hours. Did the cheese cause this kind of stopper? I’m not a big cheese eater, but the recipe had 1 cup ricotta cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese, I ate a large portion equaling about 1/4 c ricotta and 1/4 cup mozzarella.
