I'm 5 feet 4 and weigh 130 pounds and am determined to drop to 125 pounds. My problem is lack of sleep. I awaken at 2:00 a.m., or at the latest 3:00 a.m. I tried to correct my body alarm by eating crackers, popcorn, warm milk or peanut butter and crackers. I even tried a small amount of liquor before retiring, and later, when I awoke, to no avail. Not even sex helps. This odd pat­ tern continues through my weekends. My day begins with breakfast at4:30 a.m., followed by a half-hour of exer­ cise with a TV program, occasionally followed by biking three miles or walk­ ing the equivalent, walking during my lunch hour, aerobics six out of seven days a week and biking three to five miles after a light dinner. At 9:30 p.m. I walk three miles, concluding every night with a half-hour workout, ending with a cool-down. I enjoy my routine and want to con­ tinue it without the no-sleep part. Can you help me control this problem, or Just understand why? DEAR READER: Have you ever head of there being too much of a good thing? You are probably a good exam­ ple. Why are you working so hard? The most likely answer is that you are do­ ing too much exercise too close to your bedtime. Exercise during the day and early evening helps you relax and ac­ tually promotes sleep later. But exer­ cise does stimulate the body and should be completely avoided In the hours before sleep. You need to learn to adjust your lifestyle to promote sleep. 1 have discussed this in The Health Letter, Special Report 35, "Improve Your Sleep," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self- addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19822, Ir­ vine, CA 92713. It is important to wind down at the end of the day and eliminate stimula­ tion. That not only Includes exercise but mental and emotional activity, too. If you study or do mental work before going to bed you may not sleep well. If you must rethink -- or worse, discuss -- emotional family problems Just before going to bed, there is a good chance that you won't sleep. And, in­ cidentally, alcohol usually results in poor sleep rather than better sleep. DEAR DR. LAMB: I am concerned about a 16-year-old boy who has a severe overweight problem. I think his pants have a size 40 waist. He has a very good appetite and eats all the time. He is good-natured and thoughtful of other people. Someone suggested that he might have Frohlich's syndrome. I'm not familiar with this and wondered if there is a test for this and if you could give us any information. DEAR READER - There are several endocrine' abnormalties that can cause or contribute to obesity. The best known one is low thyroid function. But you can have an overactive adrenal cortex, causing Cushing's disease, resulting in typical trunkal obesity. Or a fat young boy who has not developed normally sexually may also have Frohlich's syndrome. This may b e a d e f e c t i n t h e b r a i n (hypothalamus) that leads to overeating and obesity. The only good approach to determin­ ing If any of these disorders is present is by tests ot endocrine function. Ask your doctor about it. He may suggest a referral to an endocrinologist, a specialist in problems with the hor­ mone glands. Frank and Krnest I P l P N ' T R E A P MY / UA5T PH<>Ne SILL -- X'M WAITING pop IT •p.
