What is in the honey that makes us feel sleepy?

Question

I am just curious about it...

My friend said that it is a cure for insomnia.

Answer 1

Honey with milk.

Answer 2

Honey helps in nervous disorders including Insomnia and acts as a tonic in recovery of any damage to the human nervous system.

In cases of Insomnia (Sleeplessness) one teaspoon full of honey mixed in luke-warm water (or milk) & drunk before going to bed helps in getting sound sleep.

Answer 3

I haven't experienced or heard that. If it helps your friend, though, it's probably due to honey's sugar content (though a natural source, spiking a high blood sugar level, followed by low).

Answer 4
