Question

1. I'm not alone. Insomnin affects several millions of people. The good news is that with proper diagnosis ang discipline, insomnia is almost always treatable. 2. There are some 90 different classified sleep disorders. Insomnin is the most prevalent, although technically it is considered not a condition but a symptom. It is a red flag for any number of things. 3. Sleeping pills may seem like the fast and easy remedy. However, they are most effective for short-term use and even then, should be administered only under a physielan's guidance. The side effects of sleeping pills include dependence, rebound insomnia and the need for higher dosage. 4. Determined to help myself to a solid night's sleep without resorting to sleeping pills, I began by reducing considerable coffee intake. Common sense also told me that nicotine and alcohol - one a stimulant, the other, a sedative-were probably not conducive to a calm, centered self, so I gradually eliminated these substances as well to my benefit. I tracked in a notepad the worries and creative inspirations that present themselves larger than life in the middle of the night. And I started a sleep journal. 5. Although my overall sleep was improving, I still experienced difficult periods. So, I read more books and talked to therapists and sleep specialists. Although caffeine was an obvious no-no, I hadn't considered sugar as a culprit. Dr Albert explains in her book both the weird feeling of a sugar high and the panic reactions of a low may either prevent sleep or wake you up. Albert also points to excess salt, which she says stimulates the nervous system and to spicy foods, which can disturb digestion. 6. Foods and nutrients that Albert cites as promoting sleep include calcium, seaweed and dairy products: so, go ahead and have that glass of warm milk. In addition to calcium, it contains L-tryptophan, an amino acid that may encourage drowsiness. Magnesium, which should be taken with calcium for proper absorption, and B vitamins are also listed as helpful. 7. Many of the books I read talked about sleep hygiene,' a rather clinical sounding term for basic bedtime common sense. Here are some do's and don'ts: don't do your aerobic exercise just before jumping into bed. Avoid napping during the day. Don't eat a big meal late in the evening. Make sure you have a comfortable mattress, keep the temperature on the cool side and reserve your bedroom for sleep only. I also discovered that simply worrying you're going to sleep can lead to self perpetuating chronic insomnia.

Answer:

The post has just arrived and in it a very nice surprise, the discovery that Jacques Seguela, one-time adviser to President Mitterrand, now close confidant of President and Madame Sarkozy (indeed he intoduced them), and something of a legend in French political communications, has dedicated his latest book to little old moi.
