Did you know that some food makes you stay awake?  |
|
I was posting something about food that makes you sleepy. And it got me thinking. If there are foods that makes you sleepy, there must be food that makes you stay awake. Now we all know about cafeine. But it does not work for everybody.
So I decided to do a search on the internet for more information. Apparently, food is categorized into two main groups. One is the sleeps, which as the name suggest, makes you sleepy. You can read more about it here --> http://www.mylot.com/w/di... other category is the wakers. Wakers are foods that stimulate neurochemicals that perk up the brain. One of the neurochemicals that keeps us awake is tyramine, an amino acid that causes the release of a brain stimulant called norepinephrine, that can keep us wired all night long.
Here is the list of foods that keeps one awake: ham bacon sausages Aged cheese aubergines tomatoes red wine peppers smoked meats fish chocolate 
So, maybe including some of these foods in your day meals like breakfast and lunch will allow you to stay awake better during work hours. 
food, awake, tyramine,norepinephrine, choose, include, meals, ahgong

2. kun2349 (7200) | 10 months ago | YEah, this list here, looks more decent to me.. hehe^_^ All of the above food are part of breakfast items and thus they should really wake one up.. haha=D
But other than these foods, i supposed all sweet stuffs should have the same effect too right?? Because the sweetness in the food will increase out body pressure, and thus causing causing our metalbolism rate to be higher, and we can stay awake..
Isn't that right?? hehe

kun2349 (7200) | 10 months ago | BUt most things are sweet and have sugar, or glucose in them^_^ SO, in a way, we are actually taking them inside our body, and they are part of the reason as to why we are more awake.. haha

3. NaomiErin (146) | 10 months ago | I took a chocolate once late at night because I was so hungry. I couldn't sleep after.>_< Even if I wanted to, my mind wanted to rest but my eyes were wide open. I couldn't think much at that time. Now I know what food I won't take before I go to sleep. Thanks for the information! So what if I take both? one that can keep me awake and one that can make me sleep, which will have a greater effect? Hmm..

| 5. lisast (36) | 10 months ago | Great post! Thanks for the useful info! I just want to add that eating an apple in the morning is better than cafeine in terms of energy and to stimulate the brain!:)

ahgong (3741) | 10 months ago | Hmm... but apples are listed on the list of foods that make you sleep. And I can attest to it. Cos at one stage, I was having apples in the morning during my tea breaks. It was good to keep me a wake for that short while after I eat the apple. There after, I feel darn sleepy. So much so, I made sure I never have apples again on mornings where I have important meetings!

9. naka75 (458) | 10 months ago | I don't quite agree ham, sausages, cheese, smoked meat, fish keep me awake, as I've ate them and several hours I can feel the sleepiness seeping in. I think most people would say coffee or tea, with the large amount of caffeine that keeps the brain "high". But to me, they make me dizzy and slightly sleepy. I guess for my case the only food I can think of is bottled pure prune juice, which has high level of antioxidants. I believe food with high antioxidants can help one stay awake.

10. arkaf61 (5729) | 5 months ago | Great! So here's the other part of the equation, and the way to possibly balance the whole thing together. Thanks for both posts, good stuff:) Although I have to say that from what I see I apparently already balance my meals in a way that the sleep or awake parts neutralize each other, but.... good to know:)
