Why does warm milk act as a sleeping pill?
One glass of milk (250 ml) closes the body's need for tryptophan by 50%. The body converts tryptophan (an amino acid) into serotonin, which helps control mood and sleep.
Besides, milk serves as an excellent source of calcium, which regulates the production of melatonin.
📌If you can't fall asleep, drink a glass of milk with a teaspoon of honey. It's a great way to shorten your falling asleep time and improve the quality of your sleep.
