#6 Warm milk is a myth. Milk has protein. The biggest mistake you can make before sleep is consuming protein, which will keep you up, and why protein in the morning is a good thing. That doesn’t mean some people don’t fall asleep after drinking warm milk, but most people don’t. It has never worked for me in the past 30+ years. (But I often drink it anwyay :)

From the websites:
Dairy foods are a good source of tryptophan, an amino acid that your body converts to melatonin and serotonin — both of which are thought to induce sleep. Other tryptophan-containing foods include oats, bananas, poultry and peanuts.
However, avoid eating too much protein before bedtime. Protein-rich foods also contain tyrosine, an amino acid that stimulates brain activity.
