I often worry if drinking milk at night might cause weight gain or acidity, which then keeps me awake even longer! But honestly, whenever I do try warm milk, it does seem to help me feel cozy and sleepy. Just make sure not to add too much sugar or heavy spices.

Warm milk is an old, time-tested remedy that really helps calm the mind before bed. Adding a tiny pinch of turmeric or nutmeg can make it even more relaxing. Try to drink it about 45 minutes before you sleep so your digestion is comfortable.

I struggled with insomnia for months and warm milk was a big part of my recovery routine. It has tryptophan which naturally helps release sleep hormones. Couple it with keeping your phone away one hour before bed, and you will see a massive difference.
