Default Warm Milk Before Bed

My mom always told me to drink warm milk before bed in order to fall asleep faster. I'm not sure how true this is, and if it would work for anyone, but it always seemed to work for me. Has anyone else done this?

I have only drank warm or even hot milk when I had sore throat, and it does help to soothe it. I remember being unable to sleep as a kid because of persistent cough, and a cup of hot milk would help to stop it.

I'm not sure whether milk helps to sleep better, I haven't tried it for that. I actually like cold milk much better.

I prefer cold milk as well.

Another thing I forgot to ask:
Do you know if it's true that it's bad to drink milk when you have a cough. I've heard it makes you cough more.

If it's cold, yes. Cold milk - or any cold drink, for that matter - can make the cough worse. But hot milk is the opposite, our family has been using it as a cough remedy for generations.

Oh dear I haven't tasted pure milk since I was a teen. I don't know why I dislike the taste of it but I like eating the powdered milk lol. I'd rather have a choco drink with milk during the night.

I find it to be more a psychological thing. Warm milk is a source of comfort for most people - including myself. So yes, it does help me sleep.

Oddly enough, so does coffee. A cup of coffee knocks me out quicker than anything.

Haha, so I'm not alone here! Ya, coffee can relax me as well. I think for me, it's a mental thing. And, it HAS to be Starbucks.. I'm so silly
