‘The Itis:’ Foods That Are Making You Sleepy at Work
Processed and red meats
This seems to be a bit of a double-edged sword as processed meats like cold cuts (anyone a Subway fan?) cause sleepiness. While most are still a healthier alternative to fried meals, processed carne has high levels of tryptophan.
Red meat found in hamburgers, tacos and burritos is another culprit that can give you itis moments as it’s hard to breakdown.
