Uttanasana is a relaxing, if slightly challenging yogasana for a beginner. This

mobilizes the lower limbs, improves working of the kidneys, decreases pain in

menstrual cramps, and reduces overall stress in body and mind.

This asana rejuvenates the spine in totality. It improves flexibility, and

promotes mental calm.

and feel like crap upon waking that results in a wasting of the rest of the day

kind of sleep. I've had hypoglycemia and worse most of my life and have done

glucose testing. And I definitely would be careful about giving kids a food

that " knocks them out " as I've described, as opposed to calming them down and

putting them into a nice restful sleep.

Anyway, I wish it were not the case as I LOVE bananas!

Are you sure it is because of the sugar? Bananas are a good source of B6 when

consumed raw and B6 (along with magnesium) is a cofactor in the conversion of

serotonin into melatonin.-Lana

I don't have any trouble with a normal sleep and I just stay away from bananas.

I was just trying to say that some people can't use bananas for a nice melatonin

induced sleep.
