YES, warm milk can help you get to sleep. But it’s not because it contains the enzyme tryptophan, which urban legend has it will lull you to sleep (and which is often the talk at Thanksgiving whBut what, then, do we make of all the anecdotal evidence that says a glass of warm milk (with nothing else) can help you fall asleep? Well, my friends, here’s the real kicker: it may just be that the routine of drinking a glass of warm milk is like an old teddy bear that reminds you of home when your mom tucked you into bed at night. The psychological association with milk is stronger than what the milk’s content actually does (or doesn’t do!) It’s all in your head…so to speak.en people drop like flies after a large meal heavy in tryptophan-rich turkey).

Yes, warm milk will make you sleep well but you will not be alert . That's what i have experienced.

I've heard this before, but it doesn't work for me. Plus you will wake in the middle of then night with a full bladder. So I'm guessing no, it does not make you sleep better.
