Ghrelin helps promote sleep

http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/284/2/E407?maxtoshow=&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=ghrelin&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=10&sortspec=relevance&resourcetype=HWCIT

This could be why carb foods are notorious for inducing sleep, carb foods produce a temporary decline in ghrelin followed by a strong rebound 60 mins after meal

Meanwhile, protein supresses ghrelin slowly and for along time. Dont eat protein before going to bed!
