A Cup of Milk Before Bed: Comfort in a Glass

Is a Cup of Milk Before Bed Good for You?


Yes — for many people, a cup of milk before bed can be a good idea. 🥛

Here’s why:

  • Helps you relax: Milk contains tryptophan and calcium, which support the production of melatonin and serotonin — hormones that help regulate sleep.

  • Warm comfort: Warm milk can have a soothing, calming effect, making it easier to wind down.

  • Nutritional boost: It provides protein, calcium, and other nutrients before a night’s rest.

However:

  • If you’re lactose intolerant or have acid reflux, it might cause discomfort.

  • For some people, drinking milk too close to bedtime may cause bloating or frequent trips to the bathroom.

✅ Tip: If you tolerate dairy well, a small warm cup (about 150–200 ml) 30–60 minutes before bed is usually fine.
