Eat a Cheese Sandwich, Get a Raise
According to Gimundo.com, eating a cheese sandwich could get you that raise you've been after. Recent studies have determined that a chemical in the brain called serotonin can impact how we respond to high-stakes situations. Through a study based on ingesting foods that increase serotonin levels, it was suggested that subjects with higher serotonin levels were better able to keep aggressive social responses in check and make better decisions. Tryptophan-rich foods such as cheese sandwiches boost serotonin, which could help you stay calm and rational while making big decisions. Moderation, however, is key: tryptophan is also known to cause mild sleepiness (it's in turkey--think post-Thanksgiving dinner) so try not to go overboard.

I knew there was a reason I liked grilled cheese! Too bad they tend to be rather high in calorie.

Bah, just a myth. The turkey=sleepy one has been busted before. I'd imagine that Tryptophan does not also boost serotonin unless your serotonin is abnormally low (i.e. due to Trp deficiency).
