Do you have a hot/cold/alcoholic/non alcoholic drink at bedtime?

[Milsonophonia]

I've just made myself a hot drink - unsweetened almond milk with a bit of honey. Sometimes I'll have a chai tea. You?

Cup of tea (well several over the evening) and a glass of water for in the night . Yes I do wake needing the toilet but I'm used to it now.

Horlicks

I drink filter coffee, instant coffee, herbal tea, (I have about 8 varieties open) sleepy tea or water
I'm not sure caffeine has any negative effects on me! I used to work evenings in a busy pub and drank pints of black coffee during a shift and still slept fine!

Water bottle by the bedside for during the night and early morning !

Glass of water which usually is enough for my meds in the evening and the morning. Couldn't sleep if I had caffeine after lunch and would aggravate my rls. Any more than a few sips of liquid I'm waking up for the loo. Even more so now as I'm 32 weeks pregnant.

I drink coffee all day, so my first and last drinks are coffee. I sometimes put a slug of something in it - currently finishing a mug of Southern Comfort enhanced coffee 😋 If the coffee runs out last thing, I'll sometimes make cocoa instead. Also delicious with a little something added!

A sleepy tea

I'm amazed by people who can drink caffeine throughout the day and not be affected by it. I'd be a complete mess. Amazing how different people are.

When I lived in Brazil, I used to go out for a 'nightcap' of a triple espresso. Everyone thought I was mad - except the coffee sellers, of course!

Doesn't keep me awake, either. It's just occurred to me: I never got much joy from coke or speed, back in the day. Wonder if there's such a thing as being stimulant-resistant? Sedatives, on the other hand ... 😵

I love Horlicks!

I only drink decaf tea, but my last one would be at 7pm. Otherwise I'd be up in the middle of the night, going to the toilet.

Hot chocolate, or sometimes just cocoa and hot water topped with milk (no sugar) or hot milk. I love a night time hot drink. Used to love horlicks too!

Ooh @globules, where do you buy this, please?

Aldi.

It's delicious. Excellent at inducing sleep.

And has rave reviews. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Squash for me. I drink coffee until midday but can't really have any caffeine after about 3pm or I won't sleep - I had an espresso martini at about 8pm on Saturday and they'd forgotten the decaf request, so I was still wide awake at 4am 😫

I then move on to squash and drink it the rest of the day. We tend to limit wine to weekends.

I have tea and DH has Chai Latte (hot) as tea means he wakes up a few hours after drinking it.

No, I take water to bed but the effort of making a hot drink would wake me up and cancel out the benefits.

I just have a kombucha about 7 with tea (Im tee total so its like my posh wind down drink!!LOL) then just some sips of water with meds before bed.
I cant be doing with all that up and down to the loo so I dont drink late.

Tea, Always tea. It’s just after 9:30pm here and my lovely adult daughter just brought me in a mug of sleep tea. Yum.

A big mug of coffee with lots of oat milk while I watch something mindless. I'm usually asleep within half an hour

Clippers Sleep Time tea bag.

I used to prefer Lavender and Linden teabags, Knightsbridge brand from Lidl but can't find them now.

This is a good alternative from Aldi though!!

Often a cup of tea, usually decaff/rooiboos.
