You’ve probably heard that there is a natural sedative in turkey, an amino acid called tryptophan. But if you find yourself drifting off after dinner tomorrow, don’t blame it on that. Tryptophan does cause your body to produce serotonin, a chemical that, among other things, helps calm you down. But according to nutrition experts, the level of tryptophan in a typical serving of turkey is not nearly enough to make you fall asleep.

Picking companies that go against the market is hard. As a rule of thumb, only about 20 percent of them are able to swim against the tide. But when the market is falling (as it is right now), it makes more sense to invest in individual stocks than in indexes that go down with the market.

A new business recently opened a few blocks from the Early to Rise offices. But it seems to have an identity crisis. The small shop has perplexed potential customers by offering not just vintage designer threads, but also vegan organic food. And they proudly proclaim this dual identity on their front window sign.
