Will drinking hot cocoa made with milk help you sleep at night?!

Answers:
For sure!.
Cocoa is a relaxant and slight sedative!.
When combined with milk with its known relaxing properties teh effect is even stronger!.

If the cocoa contains caffeine then probably not!. Milk contains two substances that are known to be related to sleep and relaxation, the hormone melatonin and the amino acid tryptophan!. The amount of melatonin in a glass of milk is minute, much less than what would be taken in a supplement!. The amount of tryptophan in milk is also small!. In addition, our digestive process is complex!. Considering these factors, it is unlikely that a glass of warm — or cold — milk would shorten the length of time that it takes to fall asleep!.
Though milk components and serving temperature are not likely to influence the onset of sleep through physiological means, warm milk might have psychological significance!. The routine of consuming a glass of warm milk may elicit memories of mom, home, and comforts of childhood that help us to relax!. This is part of the natural transition from wakefulness to sleep!. Recommendations include practicing stress reduction techniques, sticking to a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedroom environment, and avoiding caffeine or heavy meals close to bedtime!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
