Warm Milk

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.

The manufucturer has a web site with a small amount of info: https://www.night-time-milk.com/index.htm

whoa night time milk, that’s cool! I like how the container looks too. Makes me want to buy some, but I live in the US, bummer.

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 :smile:

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.

Who are you kidding? Warm milk with honey is delicious!

Um… maybe I just always put in too much honey… It ends up about 1/11th of the height of the milk before I stir it.

Did that make sense?

I still don’t think warm milk (even microwaved) with honey tastes weird or disgusting. It tastes like milk with honey, except that it’s warm! :smile:

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.

I still say it tastes weird! =P

it does…just hold the nose…:razz:

I tried this and couldn’t sleep the entire night. :angry:

anyone tried milk+chocolate+honey? - hot ofc. :content:

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 is so good, and yes it does help you to go to sleep i always use to drink it when i was little and it knocked me right out

Ummm Trazadone works better…

I’ve drank Skim milk my whole… will Skim have the same effect as Whole milk?

Yes it should have the same effect skim milk jsut means it has less fat…

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.

i thought it was the lactic acids that caused drowsiness

Worked for me the first night I tried it. :smile:

I don’t know much about how vanilla and cinnamon affect dreaming, but this concoction is pretty good and knocks me out quickly enough:

1 1/2 C milk
1 tsp honey
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon

Warm the milk and honey together and then add the other stuff… of course add more or less of whatever you like, this is just the way I like it.

It tastes like melted vanilla ice cream…
