Poor sleep is a public health issue around the world. Thanks to increasing distractions and the need to be on call at work 24/7, people are getting less and less sleep. Add onto that additional stress from world events and you have a recipe for a sleep deprived population.

While milk can potentially help you sleep better, there’s no guarantee it will work. However, if you don’t suffer from lactose or glucose intolerance, it’s worth trying it out to see if there’s an effect on your sleep cycle. Make sure to stick with it for at least a month as you won’t see results immediately. If you find that milk doesn’t help, pursue other options such as some tea or maybe taking some melatonin supplements.
