If you’re tossing and turning at night, the problem might be how you wind down — not how tired you are. This simple, 3-ingredient bedtime drink helps relax your body, steady your blood sugar, and signal your brain it’s time to rest.
Ingredients
> 1 cup warm milk (dairy or plant-based)
> ½ tsp cinnamon
> 1 tsp honey
Instructions
1. Warm the milk gently — not boiling.
2. Stir in cinnamon until fully mixed.
3. Add honey just before drinking, and enjoy slowly.
Why it works:
Warm milk contains tryptophan, which supports melatonin production.
Cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar, preventing night wakings.
Honey provides a natural release of serotonin, which converts to melatonin for deeper rest.
