Jeremi, I find light reading (no textbooks) at bedtime relaxes me and my eyes and you may not even remember falling asleep. If you wake at 3 am, here's an age-old breathing exercise: breathe in thru your nose for 6 counts, hold your breath for 6 counts, exhale thru your mouth for 8 counts. Do this 3 times, and then if you wish, you can simply breathe in for 3 counts and exhale for 3 counts. As a veteran insomniac, I can vouch for this exercise! Luca, my friend Penny spends 6 weeks in London every fall because her husband Dan teaches a seminar in Essex, I believe. All the museums are free so she and Dan have spent many glorious hours steeped in various historical periods and she has shared many photos with me back here. You are in for many museum delights.

My health/sleep suggestion for you guys: walk at least a mile after dinner. It smooths blood sugar, aids digestion, protects your heart, and helps you sleep—low impact, no gear, and easy to do every night. Small habit, outsized payoff. It helps having a dog to get us out the door!

Hi Jeremi,

Weighing in on the going to sleep issue...

I take two supplements to help me to sleep and they are not expensive: Melatonin liquid, 1 dropper before bed and 5HTP 50 mg 1 at bed. I even take another dropper of Melatonin in the middle of the night sometimes.

Love,

GG Polly
