Countless suggestions, even more lhan all the sheep you could possibly count trying to catch some sleep, have been made. Some authorities suggest sipping warm milk before retiring. However, the results are) questionable.

Also this milk method has never been accepted or approved by Morpheus. Others insist insomnia can be cured wilh a glass of wine in an attempt to seek sleep. This practice can create problems. Oftentimes one glass is not sufficient' for sleep, so subsequent trips to the bottle are required. You'll sleep alright, but you might end up at an Alcoholic Anonymus' if you were employed, your' chances of standing, in long lines at an unemployment agency are great.

My suggestion is to discard the above suggestions and get on the tube. Television is (he cure. It's a lullaby it lulls you. to sleep. It's like a narcotic and you will soon have a spund night's sleep.

And there's no after effects' except for the electric bill, CHARLES WALGENBACH Duarte.
