Default Food and drink rules for a better night's sleep

Can’t seem to fall asleep? Plagued by a long night of fruitless tossing and turning? Getting sufficient sleep is a key in keeping you healthy – follow these rules to put a stop what is keeping you up.

1. Drink warm milk. There is truth to your grandmother’s advice when she told you to drink a glass of warm milk before going to sleep. The chemical tryptophan, which is found in turkey, and induces sleep, is also found in milk. Plus, the calcium in warm milk will help soothe your nerves. Savor a warm mug 15 minutes before going to sleep to calm your whole body.

That is a good tip about the milk! I didn't know it had a scientific reason behind it but makes sense.
