You need to have a good supply of glycogen( liver storage of sugar)
to be able to sleep through the night without raising cortisol. You do no want to use
fat or muscle tissue as energy source. It is very important that
you eat some sugar with fat to replenish your glycogen storage before bed.
Milk with some sugar and ice cream are good mix of fat and sugar.
OJ is fine too. It is ok to eat gelatin before bed since it does not
contain tryptophan.Gelatin is a great sleeping aid.
Salt helps with sleep and regulating blood sugar.
Adding salt to OJ or milk is helpful.
I think you need to read RP materials in more detail .
