    I've been having milk more lately, mostly due to the presence of those cookies from Costco with M&Ms in them, but Scotch will always be the drink of choice for bedding and breakfast.

    I often have a little milk, but I feel that a wee hot toddy helps sleep along.

    No, but thinking about it, I could probably do with more calcium in my diet and I do like milk. Mmmmm, yummy! To help my bones grow big and strong, lol!

    Hell that wouldn't put be asleep - however it would make me bounce against the walls, play on the computer all night long - and in general drive my wife insane with the sugar high I would be on.

    Man, I can only imagine what you take in the mornings to wake up then....

    I´ve read recently that the best thing nutrition-wise to take before going to sleep is Cottage cheese, a banana and something with fiber like an apple or an oatmeal.

    I like milk and drink it, albeit not too often or regularly. Going to bed, I don't, because it's a hard nut to crack for my gastritis stricken stomach. *burps* But I have a habit of drinking a lot of water before going out or going to bed.

    I drink alot of water before bed as well, since I started doing this last year its worked wonders. Infact I only drink water, maybe some milk during the week but not much.

    Lactose intolerance causes even the slightest bit of milk to instantly turn to quite powerful methane gas, which in turn causes Mrs ichi to stab or kick me until I get up out of bed and go sleep on the couch. I wake up bruised and fatigued.

    So, no milk before bed.

    ps the same lactose intolerance means that on those days when I'm feeling mean and must be in the company of people that I don't like, I can go get a Stabucks venti Latte in the morning and smil all day long

    I don't drink milk before going to bed. Does it actually help one go to sleep? Or anything else for that matter, aside from sleeping pills or some controled substance?

    No! I do use milk so the options aren't so good, but anyway....

    Why so many pointless polls! Seriously my head is going to explode!

    GAH!

    I prefer tea.

    Tips on pointless polls:

    -Wait a while before posting it, an even more pointless(and: better) way posting the poll might come up.
    -Post it just after 'Big King Santa-phrax' (?) logged out.
    -Make at least 10 pointless options
    -Include 'I don't believe in ~' options
    -Include several versions of 'GAH!'


    Glad to have you posting pointless polls too.

    ------------------

    I voted GAH!, but it wasn't entirely correct. I don't believe in as well milk as in going to bed, so I voted gah!

    I always drink a glass of milk before I go to bed, `cause I`m thirsty..

    Oh, and except from the mushrom with white dots, milk probably made those vikings as great as they wore!

    Can't remember the last time I had milk without it being mixed with something else. I prefer cheese before bed.

    Sometimes, after a night out, a banana and some water... lots of water. I treat bananas as medicine... they do pretty well.
