It's why we work better at a separate study desk (or a library if we wanna do some reading) instead of say, the kitchen which is usually associated with food. Good point about temperature. A little trick to fool the body is to take a hot shower about an hour before bed time. When the body temperature drops to normal, it immediately goes into sleep mode. Something to do with the circadian rhythm (±1°C). The milk thing is just bullshit. Milk is usually stored cold and when you drink it, the effect is it drops your body temperature. Tea can work just as well (not green tea, though, that's the equivalent of coffee). Also, stay away from as much light as possible before bedtime and absorb as much light as possible during the day. Move your work desk near a window. If you really have to work on the computer bedtime at least install "F.lux", a freeware program that dims the brightness and "warmths" the screen colours when it gets dark outside.
