My copy of The Lancet’s eBioMedicine thuds onto the doormat, where I read all about EDS - Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. The boffins have identified steroid hormone biosynthesis as the primary driver for the metabolite associations with EDS via pregnenediol sulphate and tetrahydrocortisol metabolites and potentially the GABAA receptor.

I know, who knew?

Additionally, their findings suggest the role of diet-derived metabolites, specifically fatty acids, sphingomyelin, GPC, and tyramine, in sleepiness. So what foods should we avoid?

I carried out an extensive investigation on their findings and the foods that their study suggested would bring on the Zs.
