Waking up during the night—whether to check on your home, go to the bathroom, or simply because you can’t stay asleep—is a common struggle many of us face. While medical treatments exist for insomnia, many prefer gentle, natural solutions that are accessible and comforting. One such remedy? A warm, calming drink featuring chamomile, honey, and milk.

Warm the Milk: While the tea steeps, gently heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave until it’s warm—not boiling.

Combine & Sweeten: Strain the flowers or remove the tea bag, then mix in the warm milk. Stir in a teaspoon of honey for a delightful, natural sweetness that also supports calmness.
