Re: insomnia

I happen to know an older gentleman that had some trouble sleeping as he aged. He had no personal history or diagnosis of cancer. He went to a good doctor who recommended cutting back on his caffeine and sugar intake, modifying his diet to include more fruits and veggies, and less meat, and eat earlier in the evening. Also, the doctor recommended daily yoga exercises. Over a period of a few weeks/months he made those lifestyle changes and now he sleeps like a baby. I'd like to recommend the book "You, Staying Young", by Drs. Roizen and Oz. There is a wealth of information in this book, including sleep-related issues. Me, I just eat lightly at night and take half an Ambien.
