Trytophan is one of 20 amino acids and is also found in chickpeas. It is also a precursor to serotonin. Serotonin plays a vital role in not only determining what type of mood you are in, but it also regulates sleep. Tryptophan’s ability to calm people down make it an ideal ingredient in meals for those who are trying to sleep. Chickpeas are tasty and healthy, and an ideal midnight snack.
