I do prepare drinking milk either breakfast or before going to bed. There are five reasons that it is best to drink milk before bedtime.
1. Casein absorption: Almost 80% of the protein found in milk is in the phosphorus-containing form known as casein - a complete protein. Casein is hydrophobic (literally “scared of water”) and so it is not soluble in water but instead appears in milk as a suspension - and for this reason it is also called “Micellar Casein” (separated without the use of chemicals).
2. Tryptophan: Remember those 9 essential amino acids I keep harping about? Well, turns out one of those is the sleep-inducing tryptophan. If you are wondering where you have heard that before, it is the same chemical found in turkey leading people to feel sleepy after a hearty Thanksgiving dinner.
3. Controlled snacking: With an 8 oz glass of milk reserved to be your final snack of the day, you are that much less likely to indulge in a heavier, diet-crashing, cake/cookie/pastry snack when hunger hits at bed-time.
4. Get to 24 ounces: I don’t know about you but with a full-schedule day, I find getting 24 ounces of milk a pretty difficult goal to achieve. Even if you ensure 8oz in the morning and somehow manage another glass during the day, you are still likely to fall short of your target. Unless you make the bedtime glass of milk a regular habit.
5. Calcium: What better time to get some calcium into your system than when your body most needs it to build strong bones and damaged muscles caused by exercise? Remember you don’t build your body in the gym - you build it when you sleep/rest.

I never drink milk, it is not really as good for the body as some people say. Milk in nature is for small babies and children, not for full grown adults that no longer need the fat and hormones from milk. Though that is not the only reason why I don't drink milk, I never really like the taste, and even when I was a baby I tried to resist milk. I guess it has never been my thing haha.

I have a glass of milk in the evening usually. I use milk in different ways, I make milk porridges, add milk to a black tea. When I am sore in my throat I drink hot milk mixed with honey, it helps a lot from getting rid of bad bacillus.

..it seems that you really don't like milk. Well, i believe there are people really don't like milk and they will just drink if there's nothing else to drink. But i guess we need to drink sometimes milk because it is one of the source of calcium that can make our bones strong.

Hello jhenn22! I haven't drink milk lately but now I am trying to drink milk. I bought my milk the other day. I would prefer to drink milk in the evening so that I could have a good night sleep. They said that it's good to drink milk in the evening too especially if you're on a diet.

hi aisaellis22, thanks for the comment. But i don't think milk is good for someone who is on diet unless he/she drinks the non fat one. Milk is good for us because it is a good source of calcium which make our bones strong.
Thank you and keep on mylotting!

I always drink milk before sleep. It is said milk has the effect of calming down, and the effect will increase with time gets along, which helps to keep good sleep.
If I have several boxes of milk at home, I would add milk into coffee, or add coffee into milk to fresh myself early in the morning.

I prefer to drink my milk during breakfast, with my cereal. In truth, drinking milk at night makes me sick--in a literal sense. I used to vomit milk when I drink it.
