Insomnia and chocolate?
My whole family suffers from insomenia, my self included. But I discovered recently that if I eat a little piece of chocolate just after I wake up (dark works best) that I fall back asleep almost imediately. Any one know why?

Eating chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins, the feel-good chemical.
Chocolate is also said to contain Tryptophan, the chemical in turkey that makes you sleepy after a Thanksgiving dinner!
Tryptophan is a pre-cursor to seratonin.
It just makes you feel GOOD when you eat chocolate. :)

Not sure why. I'm with you, though. If I wake up during the night, it's difficult for me to go back to sleep without my chocolate "fix", too. I always thought it was because I drink soda during the day and my body was craving the caffeine.

your tired and sometimes caffinee can have the reverse effect if your body dosent have the energy to be awake
whatever works
