Has echoes of The Stranger by Albert Camus. I would wonder what you had for dinner the night before.

haha yeah. i'd bet it's pork. i don't eat it often so it is really obvious what's causing it.
too much tyrosine i think it is. or maybe phenylalanine. both of these amino acids increase CNS arousal during sleep when they are floating around after absorption in the gut.
I get crazy dreams after too much carbonara. I thought it was the pasta but maybe it's the pork
yeah, pig and chicken both have a lot of "large cyclic amino acids" tyrosine and phenylalanine. when a lot of this is dumped into the blood, it turns into dopamine, adrenalin, noradrenalin, and some other neurotransmitters which affect you in a similar way to stimulants, but in reverse. stimulants slow down or intensify the signalling from those neurotransmitters, where the food just increases the amount of them directly as they get synthesised into them.
