I would like to hear your suggestions for dinner that is high in carbohydrates but low in protein. I had Mac n' cheese the other day which was nice http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/soy-free-mac-n-cheese/ I had it with chestnut mushrooms, sweetcorn and broccoli. Should I leave the veg out for dinner too?

Not sure about other starches. Maybe is has more to do with just what makes you feel good, feel relaxed. Also, I think protein is harder to digest, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I don't drink cow's milk or eat yogurt or cheese, so not sure if a cup of chamomile would work as well. Since my sleep pattern is not consistent, for myself, whenever I talk a "stroll" after dinner cleanup (about 7-8pm) the fresh air and light exercise seems to help. I should do it more often. Hope you find something that works well for you.

Brown rice is 8% protein and 87% carbohydrates. Try meals centered around those maybe. (Information (c) The McDougall Program by John A.
