re: People that get a good night's sleep

I normally sleep like a baby by following these rules:

1. No chocolate after 7:00 PM

2. No more than one cocktail at 8:00 PM, usually an Old Fashioned.

3. During the day, I have a cup of decaf coffee in the morning, after that only water or the occasional Diet Grapico. Basically I have almost zero caffeine in my diet.

4. Two melatonin gummies at bedtime.


We normally go to bed about 9:00 or 9:30. I’ll read my book (currently reading “The Guns at Last Light” by Rick Atkinson) until 10:00 when I lay down and go to sleep listening to either Forensics Files on HLN or The First 48 on A&E with a sleep timer set for one hour.
