...news, such as it is, is that researchers at a Minnesota sleep-disorders center are going to publish a paper in which they have identified a few dozen people who, after taking Ambien, developed uncontrollable urges to eat while they were asleep and didn't remember their feeding binges when they woke up. Meanwhile, in the popular press, there are sporadic accounts of folks driving their cars while under the influence of Ambien and even some claims of sleepwalking that turned into sleep driving...
...Move the television out of the bedroom. Try going to sleep and waking up at the same hours every day, including weekends. Cut back on spicy foods and chocolate if you find yourself waking up with heartburn. Limit your intake of caffeine, which makes it more difficult to fall asleep, and alcohol, which causes a rebound effect that can wake you up. Practice meditation or other stress-reduction techniques.

Even I didn't think it would work-it just seemed like something my mom might try and it didn't take any time or cost anything or seem...
...every move. Everybody figured that with all the distractions, I would have trouble sleeping. As it happens, I was out almost immediately--faster, according to the researchers, than anybody they had ever studied. It has given me new insight into my wife's complaint that I'm often asleep before my head hits the pillow...
