I was talking with my friend, Elaine, about our mutual problem of being awake until the early morning hours (2 or 3 am) and waking up late (between 10 am and noon). I was trying to stop myself in the evenings but I am most productive and creative at that time. Elaine asked, “why should we fight it?” I guess she feels that after years of trying to get this problem under control, she doesn’t fight it anymore as long as she can sleep without interruption. She told me that after years of researching how to conquer the sleep problem, she found that there is not just one solution. She said there are many things to do to improve sleep patterns and that she found that she has to do them all in order to get the benefit.
I asked Elaine if she could tell me what she does so that I could see if it would help others. I took notes on what she told me and I asked if she minded me sharing her tips with my readers. She went a step further. One day recently, I received an email from her with the subject “My pro-sleep regimen”. She wrote:
“Hi Angie,
“You can see why this took me so long, but…here it is….
“Cheers, Elaine”

How to Conquer the Sleep Problem!

Health and Wellness, Sleep
It’s a time of awakening to the changes we need to make. As we self quarantine in our homes, some of the improvements we need to make for lifelong health are most likely becoming very clear to us. Age doesn’t matter. And even better, we have the time to cook good foods, exercise, sleep, drink more water, and all those things that are good for us. Now is the time to make that effort because staying in good health and having a strong immune system starts with having good health in the first place. So as we attempt to avoid getting the Corona virus or any flu virus, it’s a good time to ensure our lifelong health.
Are People Over 60 Really More Vulnerable Physically?
I was a bit skeptical when I read that people over the age of 60 were some of the most vulnerable. I thought that was a generalization that everyone over 60 was at a frail point in life. But that’s not what I see. My community of friends virtually and in real life are quite healthy women who look much younger. I felt that they should probably not be lumped into a category of people who are frail and vulnerable. But I’m not an expert, so…what do you think?
