For years now, Ive maintained that the problem isnt being middle- aged, but more cuz weve spent a lifetime without sleep. As teens, we were out all night, socializing, hanging out with friends. As young married couples, we were awake all night... well, you know. As a result, we became young par- ents, and were up all night looking after our babies. When those babies became teens, we were awake all night waiting for them to come home with the family car. So when they finally moved out, wed spent so much time being deprived of sleep, well, the explana- tion is obvious weve forgotten how. All kidding aside, middle-age seems to be a time when that pre- cious thing called sleep tends to allude us. My problem is brain over- load, when my mind refuses to shut down and allow me to drift off. There was a time Id take that quiet time in the dead of the night to problem-solve, thinking out things that needed to be solved. But that wore thin after a few years, and now that Ive solved all the problems in the world, all I want is a good nights sleep. After a bad Easter weekend (too much choco- late, too little sleep) I started researching to find out what aids sleep. For me, the killer is caffeine, be it in coffee, tea or any soft drinks with the name cola at the end. Oh yeah, and chocolate, of course. The Sidekick, on the other hand, could stop by Tims at 11 p.m., chug a massive double-double, and still have no problem sleeping, only momentarily pausing as her head hits the pillow, before nodding off. Not me. I gotta lay there for an hour or so, to think of reasons for NOT going to sleep. In an effort to uncover that Holy Grail of slumber land, I began researching what makes one sleep, focusing on foods in particular. It seems, the best foods to eat are leafy green ones, like salads and green vegetables. Makes sense after all, did you ever see a rabbit that didnt sleep soundly? Second on the list were whole grains, like whole wheat, brown rice, and oats which are supposed to have a calming and soothing effect on the nervous system and the mind. The bad list suggests staying away from the obvious caffeine fixes, and anything spicy or gassy. They also said (much as it broke my heart) to stay away from alcohol wine, beer, and spirits, cuz they See A TED BIT, pg. 9 You sleep what you eat?
