Does drinking warm milk help people go to sleep?
Answers:
It does. Babies sleep a lot because of it in their primary diet: milk.
Milk has tryptophan in it. So does turkey, chocolate, peanuts, and more.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that your body processes into seretonin, which relaxes you. That's why you almost always get sleepy after Thanksgiving. It's not from overeating, it's from tryptophan.

????? whats milk
Not as good as Excedrin PM
My mother always told me it did, and maybe it does for some people. It never helped me any.
It’s not utterly out of the question. Like most old wives’ tales, there’s some scientific support for warm milk’s slumber-inducing capacity
So, if you enjoy drinking a little of the white stuff to make you pass out, go right ahead. It may be possible that you have conditioned yourself to the behavior, and drinking it really does help you sleep. There’s probably not much going on chemically―it’s more like a placebo effect. But remember, the only way for a placebo effect to work is if you keep on believing... Got a lil scientific for u... I had to do a report on this....
I always did that when I was pregnant. It always helped me. :)
ha ha it makes me wanna puke but niquil does the trick
my grandmother and mother used to tell me this... supposedly it's suppose to help you fall asleep, but for me it actually helped relax me a bit...
Warm milk & 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
I know it may sound gross but it tastes good and is great when you hate to take pills or for kids.
Good luck.
Grate som fresh nutmeg in the warm milk...it will help too.
I have chronic insomnia. I've tried just about everything, this included. Never really helped me. But it's nice to do, very relaxing. So I do it every night anyway, without any great expectations of sleep. Does my body good ;)
I think it helps you go to sleep. ( At least that's what I here on t.v. )
Definitely! Old home remedy from way back.
I think it does....
I have never drank warm milk before and gross!!
as a child I drank it and it helped, but as an adult with adult worries, I doubt it, but its worth a try.
some people think it works but I have not personally tried it.
it is all a mental thing...it messes with ur mind to think it does!
