Hot chocolate at any time makes me sleepy so I’m not sure. Why not try an experiment farawaygran? Try other milky drinks at bed time and see if your sleep pattern improves. Good luck with it.

I always have cocoa made with milk, hot chocolate has so much sugar,
Sleep ok really.

The amount of caffeine is negligible and wouldn't make any difference.
Plain hot milk is best at bedtime, nothing added.

I was making a hot chocolate drink at bed time, and my lovely DIL who was staying with us recently said that chocolate has as much caffeine as coffee. It is a stimulant, she said. Perhaps that is why I suffer from insomnia.
I used to be given cocoa at bed time when I was a child. (but I always slept well then)
What do you think? Have I been causing my insomnia while trying to get to sleep with hot chocolate?
