When you eat beef, the amino acids you take in are almost completely
derived from digesting muscle proteins that were synthesized quite a
while previously.  There might be very small amounts of specific
chemicals present that are affected by the animals very recent
physiology (and mood),   I really doubt that the tryptophan level is
changing that much.

I would anticipate that they would discover a new compound, not being
tyrptophan but, another chemical that causes drowsyness.  If they had a
chemist, I could tell him what to do.  Isolate the sugars.  The vast
majority of chemical compounds are typically carbon chains, and
somewhere between a sugar and a starch.

Tryptophan

Sugars

Steriods

Endorphins

The similarities literally point to a chemical process that would be
used to seperate sugars from protiens.

A blood biopsy, reading of all the chemicals present in the blood
should tell us which chemicals are increasing in density as a result of
stress, and sleeplessness.

In the first morning of the experiment take blood from the cattle
that's going to be stressed/kept awake.  Then every 12 hours to follow
another blood sample taken, and the animal kept awake for a total of 72
hours.  Then we will be able to find the chemical responsible for our
drowsyness, and if we refuse to feed the animal after a 2 week rest
period, we'll find out what keeps making me hungry.

GET BUSY!!  They make tryptophan sleeping tablets, and money.  So, why
are you sitting there?  There is money to be made!

Don't think that there wouldn't be a happy pill either.  Many ancient
rituals that coincide with feasting, often include a prize calf.  Now,
if you have ever observed calves in the field, there are those that run
and jump, and play almost all day.  They exhibit what could be
considered a love for life, and a prized animal might be a friendly,
happy go lucky, playful animal that's a friend to it's owner by it's
playful loving nature.  When we eat those animals, we also get high or
feel the high felt by the animal's emotional state, and it's emotional
state and it's chemistry so close to our own, it actually aids in
elevating the mood at the party.  Therefore, there may be some tangable
chemistry to the elevated mood at the party, that's associated to when,
how and what kind of animal was slaughtered.
