The turkey didn't make you sleep this past weekend. Repeat that a few times, them read the rest of this post, okay?
More tiredness comes from eating and drinking too much during the Thanksgiving holiday in addition to not getting enough sleep. However, the turkey/sleeping connection really is just a fallacy for the most past.
Tryptophan does indeed cause sleepiness, but it's nowhere close to the vagaries of getting up early for those Black Friday sales as well as eating 3,000 calories on Thanksgiving Day (yes, that's an average). Aren't the holidays supposed to be less stressful?
