This will help you sleep....

I was getting sleepy everymorning about 10am. Couldn't figure it as I wasn't doing anything to get sleep about. But it'd hit me every day about 10am. Then one day I was watching the Food NEtwork Unwrapped series where they talk about foods, how they are made, the history and a bunch of other great and interesting stuff about our food (candy too!) This episode was talking to Ben and Jerry's creators and they mentioned that ice cream is a good "sleep agent" because it has milk in it which is always something everyone knows - warm milk helps you sleep. When asked why ice cream - that really cold stuff - make syou sleepy the guy says cause it is made with milk... and milk has calcium in it...and calcium makes you drozy so you get sleepy. Doesnt' matter if it is hot or cold. Calcium makes you sleepy. I thought htat was very interesting, but didn't think any more about it, until a few days later when I realized that I was taking my calcium supplement every morning .... and by 10 am I was sleepy! It was the calcium that was making me sleepy! I tested it and stopped taking it and the sleepy spells stopped! I tested it further and take a calcium tablet every night and with in about 1/2an hour of laying down... I doze off! Granted it is just a dozy - you either go to sleep or if you get up the "spell" is broken, but I swear it helps me get to sleep every night! Calcium supplementation is recommend by doctors, so why not make it work overtime for you! Works like a charm for me every night!
