Salmon contains “healthy” types of fat that are referred to as omega-3 fatty acids which can in fact induce sleep if enough of it is consumed. In order to really feel sleepy from eating salmon, you would need to ingest quite a bit of it.

Those who have trouble sleeping and want to be able to get to sleep naturally will want to think about adding more salmon to their diet, especially at dinner before going to bed. By doing this you could make a significant difference in your ability to get to sleep at night, though it is not always helpful for everyone with insomnia who eats it regularly.
