Does Milk make you sleeply?!
Answers: I'm working graveyard shifts and i'm wondering if drinking milk, will make you sleepy?
no not if its cold milk, can be quite refreshing i find and its good for you, warm milk tho is in deed a good bedtime drink to help you get to sleep, some ppl mix honey or sugar for that aweeter taste.....if ya feeling sleepy hun maybe its just down to the hours you are working, you may wanna try a stimulant drink, coffe, tea, red bull etc...of then you have pro plus tablets which are completely safe to use as they only contain caffeine but they do work, but dont take for too long as you will become dependant on them as like coffee.
no
only if its warm or has honey in it. ur safe.
nah
It has to be warm milk then it will work
yes it does
if you mix honey in it too then it'll make you even more sleepy
you should drink lots of coke and coffe if you want to stay awake
warm milk makes me go to sleep when I am having trouble drifting off - cold milk doesnt do the same thing for me though
As I know some products of milk like yoghurt make human sleepy so I think Milk can make you sleepy also.
I dunno but I know yogurt does =d
Yes, the Calcium in it relaxes you. SO it aides in you feeling sleepy. Maybe a coffee chaser will help you wake up...LOL
Only mother's milk
Warm milk makes me sleepy. When I was younger I used to suckle off of our cow Betsy right before bed. The milk was rich and warm, putting me right to sleep.
No, drinking milk keeps me more awake most of the time
nope..it keeps me awake..it gives me lactose intolerance..bathroom
No milk makes me more strong than before and I can work with more concentration
i have never heard of it making one sleepy, maybe if warmed.
if it is warm then maybe try it out when ur not working or something, i know it doesnt make me sleepy but maybe thats because i hate milk lol and i will neva drink it, it just groses me out. try drinking something you enjoy rather then milk, unless u enjoy it lol u should be alright though.
yes..milk has an enzyme in it that makes you sleepy...as does turkey, cheese (hard cheeses like cheddar) and whole wheat bread...so eat a turkey sandwich on whole wheat and drink a glass of milk and sleep..
yes... warm milk mixed with honey...
No, but if it makes u sleepy add a big spoon of coffee to it.
some hot milk with honey might be a bit too relaxing....I quess booz can ONLY make you real sleepy if you want to....
no...not at all...it just makes u healthy...
Often people will drink warm milk, maybe with a little sugar or honey, to put them to sleep. But it doesn't affect everyone the same.
For me, if I eat ice cream late in the evening and then I drive, I get very drowsy.
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.
First, let’s tackle the most likely suspect: warmth. Warmth lulls most mammals off to dreamland, but not from within the body. Many behaviorists have noted that mammals nod off when warm, especially after a satisfying meal and a snuggle. So, is drinking in the warmth of delicious dairy enough to have any effect on us?
Maybe, but it would work even better if you bathed in it. According to Progress in Brain Research, a sleep textbook published by the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in 2006, sleep is induced more rapidly when skin temperature rises. (On a tangential note, if you do decide to bathe in milk, the lactic acid in the beverage is said to soften and exfoliate skin. But don’t expect to swim in the moo juice on the cheap. A milk bath in the swank spas of New York City can run you $600.) Having a glass of warm milk in your gut is unlikely to raise skin temperature enough to have any effect. So, cross “warmth” of the list. But what about milk’s nutritional properties?
Most people have heard of tryptophan in relation to Thanksgiving—this essential amino acid (a building block of proteins) is responsible for that inevitable nap after a big turkey dinner. Consuming foods that contain tryptophan has long been linked to sleepiness, and it turns out there are traces of the chemical in milk as well as turkey. In the body, tryptophan is converted to the sleep-inducing hormones serotonin and melatonin. But the amount of tryptophan in any food—including both milk and turkey—is not large enough to boost hormone levels so high that they would induce sleep.
Don’t fret, though—if you have been relying on a luscious lactose nightcap for a good snooze, you don’t have to downgrade from gallons to quarts so fast. There might not be a strong biochemical link between warm milk and sleep, but there may be a psychological one.
Infants often go right to sleep after breastfeeding. When an adult enjoys a warm glass of milk they may just be taking an unconscious, nostalgic trip back to this “happy place.” Who doesn’t enjoy a good suckle?
A study published in a recent issue of Neuroendocrinology Letters found that infants go to sleep faster after feedings. While no research has yet examined this phenomenon in adults, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that milk-guzzling grown-ups are unconsciously reminded of an infantile state which causes them to drift off.
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.
Milk should make you puke as it is nothing more than pus from the teats of a cow. If you're older than 1 year old, stop drinking milk.
not really
Sort of. And if I wanna sleep, then I really have to sleep - at the right time.
