Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which digests food by breaking down protein. Pineapple juice can thus be used as a marinade and tenderizer for meat. The enzymes in pineapples can interfere with the preparation of some foods, such as jelly or other gelatin-based desserts. There is significant evidence pointing to the anti-inflammatory benefits of bromelain. Some have claimed that pineapple has benefits for some intestinal disorders while others claim that it helps to induce childbirth when a baby is overdue. These enzymes can be hazardous to someone suffering from certain protein deficiencies or disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

It can also be used to enhance digestion. Despite these benefits, fresh pineapple may cause irritation of the tip of the tongue in some cases. Some may describe this sensation as a raw tingling of Vitamin C or a charge from a nine volt battery. This condition is only temporary and will most likely resolve itself within an hour.

Pineapple is a good source of manganese, as well as containing significant amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin B1.
ABOVE ALL IT DOES NOT MAKE U SLEEPY
HOWEVER BANANA'S DO.IT MUST B SOMETHING ELSE U EAT ASWELL AS.

weed makes me sleepy ..... pineapple gives me acid

Not really ! are you combining it with something sugary ? Most fruits with the exception of bananas have a fairly low glycemic load (this refers to how quickly sugar is released into the bloodstream). Pineapples are medium GL/Gi. High sugar and highly processed foods release sugar instantly, giving a quick 'hit' or 'sugar-high' followed by a slump in evergy often making us each for more sugary or high carb foods. Good unprocessed carbs such as porridge release sugar slowly and continuously preventing low energy periods and unwanted hunger, it is now used as a dieting tool though the information is particularly significant to diabetics too.

Listen to scorpio up there.

no, I can't say that it does

no i dont think so. but if you want a fruit that will help you to sleep well eat a banana about a hour before bedtime. they have chemicals in them that induce the body to relax. sweet dreams.

Especially if someone hits you over the head with one LOL!!

It does, if you mix it with a large vodka!

But, by itself, no - there is no reason why pineapple should make you feel sleepy.

not that i know of
