want to sleep

[homerbart]

Anybody advise on a nice drink to help you sleep at night. Any thing but whiskey or brandy

Strong cider!

[scoobysoo]

Camomile tea

what strong cider would that be - ie make. Also would it not be too fizzy

I will be the unwanted reply! - try giving up alcohol! Alcohol doesn't help you sleep properly, it can drug you to sleep if you get drunk, but then you are not sleeping healthily and you'll feel worse. Try getting yourself into a calm state before you go to bed, no exciting TV etc, no coffee. Try reading something boring like the newspaper!!!! There's loads of advice available out there but no one will recommend alcohol.

i like to drink westons cider. they make a few different ciders some of which are still. "old rosie" is a nice one. i'v just bought a 3ltr box of westons vintage cider which has a nice kick at 7.4%.

remember alcohol can be your best friend1

[blu3wave]

some milk and cookies, or a hot chocolate
No alcohol, it'll only make you stink and have a bad hangover tomorrow.

Forgot to mention, drinking milk and listening to classical music or reading Financial Times usually does the trick .....
you could also watch this and have sweet dreams, like me, about what dopey's young offspring would look like :)

A cup of decaf coffee (instant is fine) with some baileys in it. It totally puts my lights out. It starts with my eyes and within minutes I am asleep wherever I sit! It is nearly like an allergic reaction - but in a good way!

[helpmetoo]

vodka and night nurse (liquid not tablets) does the trick,

dont expect to function before the afternoon next day!
