New York Times . And many commenters on TikTok noted that using hot lettuce water as a sleep remedy is a tradition in Mexican culture, among others. OK, but does lettuce water help you sleep? There is no scientific evidence that says it has any impact. That doesn't mean lettuce water won't make you doze off—it just means there aren't studies on its effect on humans.
The scant studies that focus on latucin and lactucpircrin test on mice and use lettuce extract or lettuce seeds, not whole lettuce, boiled or otherwise. But think of it this way—we all understand that a lavender or rose essential oil is much more concentrated than a few crushed petals. We know there is a difference in vitamin C between a capsule and the equivalent-sized spoonful of orange juice.
Lettuce has sleep-enhancing properties, but is it really possible to get them from boiling a few leaves? Maybe the better question is: ?10% of adults report chronic insomnia, the American Sleep Association. It's cruel and awful. There is a reason sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture, and why lists of the exist.
It's understandable that a person would try anything—let alone the very low risk intervention of lettuce water—to fall asleep. Besides, when many of us were teenagers, it was common to read a recommendation to put lemon on your face or hair, or yogurt! Raw eggs! Lettuce water tea is nothing—nothing!—compared to those dark days. And as someone who agreed to a job of testing things from the internet, I know this: Sometimes you just have to swill around your steamy lettuce water and toast, “At least it's not a Tide pod.” Having hyped myself up to drink un-seasoned green soup, I obtained a bag of romaine lettuce.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIf you asked a random group of Israelis and a random group of Palestinians to describe the events that surrounded the founding of Israel in 1948 (chief among them the War of Independence, which lasted close to a year), you’d probably come about as close as you could get to a world political “Rashomon.” The Israelis would likely tell the story of their nation’s founding as a heroic saga of Zionist destiny cloaked in historical justice. The Palestinians would likely tell the story of how they lost their nation, and would evoke that loss with the phrase they have always used to describe it: The Nakba (“The Catastrophe”).Hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed by the Israelis in 1948, and at least 750,000 Palestinians became refugees.
