tesco night time milk

[monkey2]

hello, as anyone tried tescos night time milk and does it really work? Im still looking for ways to get C to sleep without doing the CC. Ive got some and only started using it last night so i cant see it being that good just yet.

[scientist hat on]

The only proper scientific information I can find about night-time milk is about its effect on elderly patients, but I'll summarise what they found anyway:
People produce less melatonin as they get older, which can lead to insomnia and disruption in the 'active by day and sleepy by night' pattern, so they may nap in the day but can't sleep at night.
Night-time milk has higher levels of melantonin than normal milk so they thought it might get melatonin levels back to normal.
They did a randomised controlled trial of normal milk vs night-time milk in fairly healthy elderly
people living in a care home.
They saw no significant improvement either in the quality of sleep or in daytime activity with either normal milk or night-time milk.

[science hat off]

So I say expensive waste of money.

thanks for that. i thought it might be to good to be true. at least ive reduced C juice (its more or less water now) right down and he only drank 1 oz of it last night which is brilliant.he used to drink upto 16 oz. i just need to master c waking up in the night now.

when you get down to water-only he might decide it's not worth waking up for - we can only hope!
