I READ IT IN A ANSWER!!

Answer:

Makes sense since it's good for sleep. Anxiety meds are calming and usually involve some drowsiness. Ask anyone who takes an anxiety med that is rather fast acting and not extended release - especially someone taking Xanax. Also, I take Trazodone to help me sleep and it's an antidepressant also prescribed for anxiety.

because milk contains vitamins and minerals that can

correct anxiety

Anxiety is mostly conscience caused, so if you think you are anxious then you probably will be because your body will think you are in danger and then release Epinephrine into your bloodstream causing adrenaline sensations. "I think therefore I am" So as long as you think you are no longer anxious after drinking that milk then you probably won't be afterwards. Also milk is associated with maternal protection, you used to drink milk as a baby and your parents were there to protect you so you felt safe, and these sensations are just recurring.

yeah, it calms babies, its satisfying

sleep chemicals in there too I think

It contains tryptophan (as does turkey), which will make you drowsy or sleepy. I don't think that it does anything for anxiety though, it's just for help sleeping. Now go have a turkey sandwich and a glass of milk and call me in the morning!

thanks for bringing it up:)..brb..would you like some milk too?

---

Milk naturally contains tryptophan which especially when warmed is a natural calmative that helps to sleep. It cant stop severe anxiety, as in extreme requires medication & therapy to get to the cause of the anxiety.
