Foods to help you get a good night's sleep

'Avoid stimulants like coffee and alcohol, which contain an amino acid that increases adrenalin and keeps you awake. Instead, opt for a glass of milk or a banana, both of which contain tryptophan, a substance that helps promote restful sleep.'
Paul Chamberlain, nutrition expert for Solgar Vitamin & Herb

right, my mom used to give me warm milk to get a good sleep. but I have read than milk is no good for adults causing some health problems. I mean too much milk. so if you don't sleep well such remedy can do even harm
