I posted my thoughts on the thread on another board and the poster agreed with me

I simply stated that carbs near bed illicit the insulin response which is known to help sleep

I use more as a fail safe when i know i need sleep for the next day

Milk AND PASTA are my sleep choices and you dont need much either
