True: Thanksgiving dinner will make you drowsy. False: It's the tryptophan. You'd have to eat a LOT more turkey than you will to get that effect. No, it's all about too much food, period, according to professors at Penn who study this stuff.

Knowing this, will you eat less or just take a nap after dinner? (Philadelphia Inquirer)
