I'm trying to make lists of foods that wake me up and foods that don't. I've included some medications that were expected to keep me awake or to make me sleepy and had the opposite effect or no effect. Wellbutrin and Provigil do not keep me awake (nor, actually, does caffeine). Tofranil and barbiturates keep me wide awake (barbiturates actually make me manic. I don't take them. Ever). The foods that wake me up seem to be combinations of fat and carbohydrates or protein and carbohydrates. Fat and protein together don't do it. Protein alone doesn't, and carbohydrates alone generally don't. Caffeine really doesn't. Fruits and vegetables don't generally (though fruit juice sometimes does).
