It  puts you to sleep due to the increase in seritonin in the brain and the calcium sooths the central nevus system and relaz it. the honey just activates the alkiloids in the milk.

Well, I'm still up after yet another crappy night !!..I think the only way milk is going to send me to sleep is if a cow takes a run and jump and head-butts me or a few gallons land on my head !!...arrrrrrrggggghhh !!!

Men are the same as women, just inside out !

Here let me change the subject...hehe...sorry can't resist...

As you sit in the South wing of the Library with book in
your hand, silently reading, "The Communist Manifesto" with your
legs propped upon the ottoman and Remy Martin Cognac in your other
 hand. Every now and then you glance out the window while it is
lightning and thundering so much you begin to imagine Beethoven has
begun a new era with his Concerto. Fireplace has been stoked and the
flames are dancing in tune to the lightning as it flashes brilliantly
across the sky. Books lined perfectly to subject matter from shelf
to shelf.

Friend in Vegas tried warming up milk to go to sleep...I watched her and it bugged her so much she couldn't sleep....I told her I was conducting a study to see if it really worked...she said some not so nice things and threw a pillow at me from her bed...lol...then she heated up another pint of milk...and tried to go to sleep again...uh, sure I pestered her with pad and paper writing down stuff including pics of her eyes...she didn't like my art work...she resorted to getting some alcohol...she went to sleep, study was dismissed, and she woke up in a fowl mood, I asked her if she wanted some chicken for breakfast...she didn't get it..and said I was crazy..glad she knew me for a bit of time...yikes!

Hey now Michael, tell me the truth, how many of you fathers out there have really not thought about it? Tell the truth now! Mine can't be the only one.
  Hey Neil, is Julia nursing? Maybe you should try a bit of mothers milk, Nothing like mothers milk to put you to sleep. Might help with your insomnia you know. Full of all those great vitimins and they say it makes your immune system really strong! Just be careful about what she has had to eat! Just kidding friend, felt like poking fun with you, feel better soon!

Hey. I just love to drink warm milk with honey in the evening. But it does not affect sleep in any way. I just like when some old advice turns out to be absolutely absurd, false, or if you drink a glass of warm milk before going to sleep as a sleep inducer.
YES, warm milk can help you fall asleep. But this is not because it contains tryptophan, which, according to the urban legends, lulls you to sleep (and often it's talk for Thanksgiving, when people fall like flies after a big meal is heavy in a rich tryptophan turkey ).
In fact, scientists still do not know if milk can stimulate sleep.
But what do we do from all the anecdotal evidence that says that a glass of warm milk (with nothing else) can help you fall asleep? Well, my friends, this is a real kicker: maybe that drinking a glass of warm milk is like an old teddy bear that reminds you of a house when your mom tucked you into bed at night. The psychological connection with milk is stronger than the content of milk (or does not!)
Just drink milk if you like it. But do not expect if you have insomnia that this will help you. We need to look for something that is more reliable than milk. Good luck searching. If someone thinks otherwise I'll wait for comments.

Sunlight does trigger some kind of hormone thing that wakes you up, so its not surprising that it would make you feel more energetic, ergo happier.  I usually dont feel like waking up in the morning until I open the window.
