Apparently Oats are rich in maletonin which can make you sleepy.
From a google search - "drowsy eating oats"
"Grains in oatmeal trigger insulin production much like whole-grain bread," "They raise your blood sugar naturally and make you feel sleepy. Oats are also rich in melatonin, which relaxes the body and helps you fall asleep."
Well obviously I've got it all *&%$#! about then. I should be eating my breakfast before I go to bed.
The Scots have got it right then - haggis has oats as it's carbohydrate component.
A wee drop of whiskey would help too
If we're eating oats for breakfast maybe we should down a stiff measure as well?
When I was a student I spent one holiday in the northern territory on a cattle station for 6 weeks. Out on cattle camp we'd make fresh bread - damper, and use it as plates for a steak (meant no washing up) .Lots of hot tea (with yuk powdered milk that didn't quite remove the tang of diesel for the water) Fortifying breakfast for a cold dark 5 am start of a full day on horses.
I'm going to have a go at baking a small soda bread next time we're out. I'll post some pics, success or failure as it may be
And yes, we have porridge for breakfast when we camp. Happy days
