For Doris and others writing about melatonin, saying,

I am coming in late on the melatonin discussions, as I have been away
from the Silver List for a while. So, forgive me if I sound off the
wall, here.
My GOS (grumpy old spouse) has been fighting insomnia for quite a
while -- not cheerfully, as you might gather. Tried melatonin without
measurable results, and won't take OTC or doctor prescribed sleep
aids, wisely, I think. Then I stumbled over a suggestion -- I know
not where, since I read widely about health matters. He has tried
eating chicken and other snacks supposedly helping bring on the
Sandman, but when I told him I had read that eating a handful of
walnuts before going to bed would help, he was willing to try it.
He has rarely had any trouble falling asleep since he began this odd
bedtime snack! Plus, the nuts are full of great heart healthy Omega 3
fats, too, so he protects his heart, takes care of his need for sleep,
and my patience, all at the same time, while I am a night owl and stay
up all hours happily.
Thought you might like to try the nuts at about $5 a pound, instead of
sleep aids at over $100!
Many nuts are high in tryptophan, and the government can't outlaw all
of them (although they may try). Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are
also good sources. They should all be effective for those that get
relief from tryptophan. A good alternative since the government
outlawed tryptophan due to its effective competition with big pharm's
sleeping pills.
