Forty plus and tired

Morning Weight: 201.4lbs

I'm going to try and remember this (from men's health discussion forums): Relax before bed. No TV for 1 hour before bed, listen to softer music, read something light and non-challenging, take the time to just be. Do not drink alcohol before bed, and cut the caffeine early in the day.

I also find that prayer helps. A conversation with God straightens out everything in my mind and helps me get it out.

You may have a bad sleeping situation like an uncomfortable bed, noisy/bright bedroom, or something like that. Try white noise. A friend of mine did that and suddenly started sleeping.

Of course, if you have been having trouble since age 4, you may have a medical problem. Sleep specialists can help.

I've made it to Forty

My daughter was the first one to say Happy Birthday. Generous presents were received from the children, Nathalie, Sara and Mum. The family have picked up on the fact that they think I need to keep my skin in condition. Sara went for something longer term which will require maintenance.
