I'm sure you have problems with sleeping but maybe changing your dietary pattern may help!. also, there are varieties to your sleep patterns so check the below info i found on a site:
THE "SLEEP HORMONE"
Foods that contain a substance called tryptophan, which is converted to an amino acid called L-tryptophan, promote sleep!. Tryptophan is subject to various changes by enzymes making the L-tryptophan produce a brain chemical called serotonin!. Serotonin is essential for sleep and has been called the "sleep hormone!."
Here are some tips to encourage your body chemistry to aid sleep:
1!. Eat foods high in tryptophan:
Eat these foods during the day to aid restful sleep and to encourage the release of sleep hormones!.
Foods high in tryptophan include: Milk, eggs, meat, nuts, beans, fish, and cheese!. Cheddar, Gruyere, and Swiss cheese are particularly rich in tryptophan!.
2!. EATING TO GET TO SLEEP
If you have trouble getting to sleep when you first go to bed, eat a high-carbohydrate meal two to four hours before bedtime!. You can also include a little food high in fat in the meal as well!. This will increase the release of serotonin immediately before going to bed!.
Foods high in carbohydrates include: Cereals milk, cakes, candy, sugar, ice cream, dates, figs, chocolate, cakes, fruit pie, potatoes, spaghetti, honey, and jam!.
3!. EATING TO STAY ASLEEP
Some people get to sleep but then awaken during the night!. To overcome this problem the serotonin needs to be released later in the night!. Eat a snack of high carbohydrates combined with some fats immediately before going to bed!. Banana is a good food to include as it digests more slowly and releases the appropriate chemicals later in the night!. Similarly, a warm milky drink at bedtime works very well as milk is high in tryptophan!.
Foods high in carbohydrates: see above!.
Foods high in fats: cream, high-fat cheese, meat, saturated margarine, butter, peanut butter, nuts, sausages, milk chocolate, and butter!.
