Does warm milk really help you fall asleep?

Answer by  Pumpkin1 (201)

Milk contains two ingredients that aid in sleeping. Melatonin; which is a hormone and Tryptophan; which is an amino acid. Add this to the warmth that may bring back memories of childhood and having a warm bottle at bedtime while being rocked by your parents and this may help people fall asleep.

Milk contains chemicals that can aid sleep, but not in quantities that will really affect you. However, warm milk can soothe you, which helps. And if you are used to drinking warm milk at bedtime, merely repeating that ritual can be a way to prepare your mind to shut off and allow you to get to sleep.

That is absurd. It will make you have to get up and pee like any beverage would and give you a stomach ache like any milk would. Of course if you believe it works, then it might.
