Nor if you replace it with hot chocolate.
Am I the only one who noticed that?[/quote]

This is the hot chocolate I replaced it with. No caffeine, no sugar. Label claims sleep benefits.

OP, I mean this with kindness, but you seem to be very susceptible to marketing. No matter how you dress it up, it’s hot chocolate. It’s not going to help you sleep better, other than essentially being a glass of warm milk before bedtime. Same with the touted side effects of quitting a nightly glass of wine. Sure, there are long-term benefits, but you made it sound like you expected to feel like an entirely different person because some articles led you to believe this. That’s not realistic. As much as we hope to find one, there really is no magic bullet. Everything in moderation - it’s boring, but it’s the reality of what works.[/quote]

Fair comment. I'm mostly in it for the protein in the form of a comforting drink. I've also recently read that waking at night can be improved with an increase in protein. I'm beginning to settle on "this is just life and these people are all full of crap."[/quote]
