Food / sleep

Some food help us get asleep like turkey, milk,... because they contain the amino acid tryptophan


but are there foods than prevent us from getting asleep ?

Bump for a good question

I've read a while back that glutamine has stimulitory actions, L-tyrosine also. Not sure if that would prevent you from sleeping though.
