Does turmeric milk really help with sleep?

I've heard about this 'golden milk' that's supposed to help you sleep better. Anyone tried it?

I'm a nutritionist, and turmeric milk or golden milk can indeed help with sleep. The curcumin in turmeric is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the inflammation that might be disrupting your sleep. But don't forget to add a pinch of black pepper to your drink. It helps with the absorption of curcumin, enhancing its benefits. While it may not be a miracle cure for everyone, it's a safe and healthy option to try as part of your bedtime routine.
