Preliminary Research Shows Stove Top as Possible Antidote to Dinner Sleep Attacks

Washington DC— A recent phenomenon of families being struck with sudden tiredness at the dinner table has hit homes in the area.  Doctors are puzzled by the way kids and adults alike are waking up to cold plates of food before them and sometimes their cheeks covered in food as they use their plates as pillows.  

“One minute we were talking about our day and the next thing I remember was waking up and wiping food off my cheek,” recalls Bethesda, MD resident, Spud B. Gone.

Due to the widespread outbreak of these instances occurring in multiple DC Metro area counties, The National Institute of Health has assembed a team of medical professionals to research these sudden attacks.  Conclusive findings indicate they are similar to narcolepsy, a sleep disorder causing excessive sleepiness and daytime sleep attacks, but different because these incidences seem to be resulting from boredom at the dinner table.

Interviews with families indicate that the sleep attacks happen most often during dinner when there is a presence of starch as a side dish.  Rice, baked potatoes, and mashed potatoes seem to be causing adults and children alike to fall face first into their food. 

Research findings indicate white starchy foods cause sudden sleep at the dinner table.

“I served our usual brown rice with dinner,” remembers Mrs. Norice, “and sat down to eat and was stricken with a sudden tiredness I’ve never felt before.   I made it through the meal but my eyes were heavy and I found it hard to carry on a conversation.”

To help provide an explanation for this strange occurrence, families throughout the region have volunteered to document their dinner meals for NIH researchers.  Preliminary data shows that the absence of starches such as rice and potatoes in favor of side dishes such as Stove Top Stuffing could be an antidote to such dinner related problems.

“We’ve never had a problem with being tired at the dinner table,” reports Sally StoveTop of Fairfax, Virginia.  “Our kids revolted against boring white starches like rice and potatoes years ago so now Stove Top is our side dish of choice.”

NIH researchers are waiting for more conclusive evidence that Stove Top could be the cure for dinner sleep attacks but there is a strong indication that serving the zesty flavors of Stove Top keeps dinner lively and diners awake.
