Ageing gracefully

[rgkv]

What I used to be able to do all night....now takes me all night to do.

Sleep? Try some chamomile tea.

I don't have that problem unless I take a nap during the day.

Sleep is about conditioning.

Once I get into that nice fetal position on my left side, nighty night.

Although they say you shouldn't sleep on your left side as the blood will pool in your heart.

You're only as old as the woman you feel.

At my age when I see a pretty young woman I wonder what her mom looks like

Melatonin is addictive, does work (I tried it), but I wouldn't suggest it. Maybe if levels in the body are actually low, than it can be a good supplement.

Melatonin is produced by the body but the amount we produce reduces slowly as we age ... which is why babies sleep all the time and as we age we have difficulty sleeping for more than a few hours. It's available in supplement form and it works for many. Give it a try.

Melatonin used to be suggested as a good antidote for jet lag. Used to do a lot of trans-Pacific travel and it worked very well for me. I don't know what "modern" science has to say about it.

I prefer to age disgracefully...
