I’ve been told that bananas have the second highest levels of serotonin.
When I pass [that tidbit] on, others ask ‘what’s the first?’. Do you know?

I’m sorry to say that whoever told you bananas have the highest second levels of serotonin must have been rather confused.
Foods, after all, don’t contain serotonin (a neurotransmitter linked to relaxation and sleep promotion). Certain components in food, though, can increase serotonin levels.
Here is how the “some foods make you tired and sleepy” scenario plays out.
