Is taking a sip of cognac or brandy can help you sleep?

[Alasfoakus]

iam wondering if this is true or not..usually a hot cup of milk doesnt help much

[grasscarp]

Dont know the answer to that, but if all else fails horlicks seems to work!

Usually one drink can relax you and help you sleep (as told to my other half by his dr and surgeon after a painful operaion), but only one! If you have too many it is likely to keep you awake or stop you having productive sleep

Try putting ta tot of brandy or some dark rum in the hot milk! Lovely! Especially good when you have a cold (amount according to taste obviously!)
