Is your bedtime drink bad for you?

As the nights become increasingly chilly, many people will be tempted by the old-fashioned comfort of a bedtime drink to warm up and help them nod off.

The obvious choice is one of the many malted drinks now available - they seem so wholesome, especially those with added nutritious vitamins and minerals or those that claim to help you sleep.

But in fact some malted drinks are not as healthy as you might think, and are high in calories, saturated fats, salt and sugar - some contain as much as five teaspoons in a mug.

And although we assume malted drinks help us sleep better, that's all in the mind, says dietician Lyndel Costain.

'It's true a milky drink can help to avoid low blood sugar and stave off hunger-driven tummy rumbles during the night, both of which could interfere with length and quality of sleep,' she says.

'But it's definitely more the warmth of the drink and the soothing psychological aspect that helps you drop off - there's no magic ingredient. Another drink that calms you down could have just as good an effect.'
