   A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

     Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

     While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

     Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

     Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

Dear Mum,
   　I don’t think you understand my life.You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time,too. You never think about funny things for me to do like music and sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked  me to stop and to do my homework. After finishing my homework, I wasn’t allowed to read my football magazines still. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t find them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie(说谎)to you, but you told me Dad would talk to me later. Mum, I didn’t quite like what you had done to me! I really love you,  Mum, but I wish both of you could try not to push so hard on me.
