3. Milk: You might have been given milk before going to bed in your childhood. And your mom was right doing so. Warm milk has a relaxing effect on the nervous system. It is full of calcium, magnesium and tryptophan. Drink milk in moderation otherwise you’ll need to wake in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
4. Cereal and Milk: You need products that contain tryptophan. Milk contains this compound plus magnesium and calcium. Drink milk with a small serving of whole-grain cereal before bedtime. The complex carbs will help you feel sleepy. You can replace cereal with oatmeal since the latter is rich in melatonin.
