Foods/drinks that help you sleep

[UNODRAGONE]

I stumbled onto this article that talks about what keeps you awake at night and I was wondering if anyone had any sure fired tricks to being knocked out (besides Nyquil :) )Mine is Chamile ( I think thats how you spell it) tea before bed, two spoons of sugar in it, drink it a half hour before bed, and whamo! I've also noticed that chocolate chip cookies do it for me too but I think it's cause I love them so much I'm just so content I fall asleep :D

I find, especially when I'm I'll that a hot toddy does the trick. Honey, lemon, whisky and hot water. Failing that, strangely enough, a cheese sandwhich. It also gives you fantastic dreams.

Foods that send me to sleep: Anything big. A large MacDonald's works, or a roast dinner. 'Course you're not supposed to eat something large before bed but when your dinnertime is 10:30pm there's little choice really.

As for drinks... Nothing. I can't stand any hot drink and cold ones have no effect except on my tastebuds and thirst.

Or, intake a lot of sugar, enjoy the sugar rush and then wait for the crash. ^_^

I've always wondered how the hell you make a hot toddy? I never heard of it till I came to this country but then no one has explained to me how to make one

Weeeeeeeeeeelllll! Just get yourself a mug and boil some water. Put about a tablespoon of honey in the mug (Or more if you have a sweet tooth of a REALLY sore throat), a few dashes of lemon juice (Not too much, about a couple of tea spooons), whisky (Depending on how much you want to sleep or how much you like whisky I guess, I suggest for the average person just over half a shot, if you love whisky, like me, just over a shot) and then just fill the rest of the mug with hot water and stir it. Really simple and you can make it as sweet or bitter or alcoholic as you want by playing with the ammounts. Really, you can't go wrong unless you drown it in lemon juice or don't put enough of something in.
Always sends me off to sleep and makes me dream awesome/weird dreams.

I don't know why but pizza (even though it is one of those acidy foods) causes me to have some vivid kick ass dreams :P

Good, because I hate sleeping with the fishes. They molest me in my sleep.
