Why do they say that drinking milk helps you to have good sleep?

It works for me. Is it because it is a "brain" food rich in vit B, folic acid, magnesium etc

Milk contains high levels of a chemical called tryptophan, which can be a natural sleep aid for some people. So it is a chemistry thing, but not related to the nutritional content.
