Who should not take tryptophan?

Does tryptophan make you sleepy?
Tryptophan can contribute to feelings of sleepiness or relaxation in some people. This is because it is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, both of which play important roles in regulating sleep-wake cycles. However, the effect may vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience noticeable drowsiness from tryptophan supplementation.
