the warmth will provide some help in making you comfortable, but I'd also venture that it's more of a 'less caffeine/sugar' thing than the other options.

Maybe there's a psychological thing attached to it from when you were an infant and the association with a warm bottle of milk at night and associated feelings of comfort. & safety
LoL at the psychological thing

I got more responses over how to pronounce milk than why milk helps promote good sleep.

And it encourages sleep by introducing the amino acid tryptophan. It acts as a natural sedative. It is also contained in turkey, so if you're having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, eat your turkey last.
Thanks for this reply, I tried milk once and it didn't really differ from any other night, perhaps I should hit the sack immediately

I'll try it again soon .. now that I know it really works.
