Horlicks, Ovaltine or just plain warm milk.

Horlicks is the drink that's long been marketed as a sleep aid but any milky drink is likely to work in much the same way:

Depends on the sort of milk you use, JJ. Skimmed, semi-skimmed, full fat and the variety of Horlicks/Ovaltine you have.

There are 187 calories in 1 cup (200 ml) of Horlicks Horlicks with Semi Skimmed Milk.

None of them.

It can be made with water if you're worried about it being 'fattening'.

My GP told me cocoa had caffeine in it so was not suitable to drink before bed. I think a tot of spiced rum with hot water and a teaspoon of honey if you like it, would be just as good. Zopiclone would work better of course .
