1. As a point of further explanation on the potato thing in the earlier post--I read that eating potatoes at any point in the day helps with sleep as they absorb acids in the body that can interfere with the effects of tryptophan (you know the happy sleepy stuff found in turkey & dairy). This does seem to be true given non-fried potato sources, i.e. mashed potatoes or potato soup as opposed to say french fries or chips. Over the past week on days when I've had one or more servings of non-fried potatoes I've slept better to very well.
2. As it turns out pumpkin pie* helps with spiritual unrest. Okaaay it was probably actually the authentic prayers the night before expressing my frustration and the great conversation had over said pie, but hey the pie didn't hurt matters. ;)
Thought these scientific/medical/psychological breakthroughs were worth sharing.
* likely any type of pie, cake, or cheesecake will result in similar effects :)
