My question to you is, if one tends to have a slow heart beat with bouts of racing and or palpitations is their any particular herb to relax I should stay away from. I would like to sip on something in the evening to take the edge off and relax enough to sleep. Thank you so much for this web site and all the great reading. Lorrie Hi Doc,

I always buy apple pies at the store and then microwave them late at night before I go to bed or if I can't sleep and once I eat them, I'm pretty tired again. Milk is also good as well.

Great article on sleep-foods! I printed out the list as there were things on it I'd not thought of...and I eat really healthy. I've been doing the apple and almond one for some time now...not because I knew it was good for sleeping but just because I love it SO much. There are some other good suggestions here as well. This is such a delightful site...I've missed you. Will have to look through some of your other posts. I like your writing style: warm, friendly and chatty, which makes reading factual information much more fun and retain-able. Great Job! :) Hi Doc, good to be here again. Great article on sleep-foods!

These meals will help keep you asleep but until you work through the bugs with counseling and stress management, you will still be lying in bed twiddling your thumbs wishing you can sleep. I typically prescribe exercise to everyone with insomnia. I think both the mind and body have to be worn out in order to ensure a good night's sleep.

I suffer from those same insomnia issues. I think when we lay down and are quiet finally in our day that is when the best ideas come to us. I have gotten out of bed in the middle of the night and on to my computer to write and article many too many times. I think lunch should be one of the bigger meals of the day. You could try eating dinner earlier and then have a light snack later on. Although I do have to admit that being a night owl it is tough not to have dinner at 8-9pm at times. Hi Tim!

Initially it was stress and now I think I'm just too excited. I love what I do so much that I'm always pondering ideas and stuff and can't wait to get up and get going. This can be as problematical as being stressed and I'm looking at ways of dealing with it including doing more meditation. We also eat our evening meal too late (it's usually about 8.00/8.30pm) and I think that's a very European habit that we adopted years and years ago. I knew it wasn't healthy, but I thought that was just from a weight gain perspective, are there other reasons Doc that I can use to persuade my wife that we NEED to make changes ;-) I have been a poor sleeper for years.

They are too tough and just unrealistic. Slow carbs is the best way to go. Learning to eat high fiber and protein with every meal will lower the glycemic load of the meal so that you get the same type of effect as on the Metabolic Diet. You will be more apt to stick to it for the long term as well. Flaxseeds are one of my favorite superfoods because they are dirt cheap and packed with all the right stuff. Be sure to grind them fresh before eating to take advantage of the delicate omega 3 oils. Thanks for stopping by! Hi Louis- I am not a fan of super low carb diets for the average Joe.
