For those in the UK, I found a new product in Sainsburys the other day. It is called night-time milk and has been specially produced to contain extra melatonin. I don’t know how much more this would have than normal milk. I tried some on its own last night and seemed to sleep more deeply than usual, but that could just be because I was expecting something like that. I will have to try it with honey.
Something I don’t understand that night-time milk, it says they milk cows first thing in the morning, wouldn’t it make more sence to milk them in the middle of night/just before they naturally goto sleep? But then again thats why I’m not a biologist
And does anyone know if tryptophan is found in smaller quantities in skimmed milk? It’s all my family drink, it’s pretty much like white water, but I heard it’s still gots lots of teh good stuff with less/none of the fat. Thanks.

yes, good question : is skim milk the same as 2% or whole milk as far as tryptophan content? To the dude who was freaking out about microwaving milk, hey, don’t you ever make hot chocolate?
I’m trying the warm milk with honey right now. It tastes weird and kind of gross, but we’ll see what it does.
well, you have your opinion of what tastes good and what doesn’t. To me, it tasted strange and kinda unappetizing. Anyway, I couldn’t get to sleep although I did feel tired after drinking the mixture. My sleep pattern was all messed up though, so I’m not sure I can draw any conclusions at this point.
Some old guy across the street said to try warm milk with a tsp of powerdered milk and honey (brown sugar if don’t have any). Tastes awful but it works (for me).
Warm milk works wonders for those who can’t fall asleep.
I gave it to both of my kids even now I still give it to them but in different forms.
Now when they can’t sleep. I give them a little bit of cornflakes with warm milk and sugar. I put splenda in mine but they fall asleep fairly quickly and with smiles on their faces.
