It was found that these people had an excess of acid waste products in their blood during sleep.
This acid waste kept the brain and nerves 'on edge', all night even though the rest of the body was sound asleep.
But when Horlicka was given to these people last thing at night, this excess acid waste was completely neutralised. They woke refreshed, with Increased energy and vitality.
