Are you looking for a natural way to help you fall asleep? Here is a recipe for a natural and delicious drink that will help you sleep better and with the added bonus of many other positive benefits as well.

Milk (or milk substitute)
Milk is one of the foods that help sleep better. You've probably heard that drinking a glass of warm milk at night can help you fall asleep. Indeed, for this trend of the recipe for sleep, many scientific studies were done that justified it.
Milk contains an amino acid called tryptophan, which turns into serotonin in the body. Serotonin helps regulate sleep.
In any case, several studies, including the study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" in 2003, prove that although milk contains tryptophan, the tryptophan may be blocked from reaching the brain by the protein in the milk.
In order for tryptophan to be effective in aiding sleep, it must be combined with foods that are low in protein and high in carbohydrates, such as honey.
For some people, especially those with milk allergy or lactose sensitivity, a glass of warm milk can cause indigestion. In this case you can use almond milk which also contains tryptophan.
