Why do I feel sleepy after eating raw onion? Does it contain any sleep inducing elements?
Answer;
Hi,
Eating onions can make a person sleepy because they are rich in L-tryptophan, which is an amino acid that is a natural sedative ( a drug which makes you clam and sleepy ). This effect of sleepiness is due to the rapid lowering of sugar levels in your blood, which in turn lowers your normal activity levels. Onions are excellent for insomnia. It causes a lot of people to feel sleepy in about 10-20 minutes after ingesting a reasonable raw portion of it. It is probably due to its high content of glutamic acid which is converted in the brain into glutamine--an aminoacid--which binds with vit. B6 to induce that sleepy state through the formation of a couple of brain hormones.
