One of the more disappointing aspects of aging is that I no longer sleep as well as I used to. What makes it so unsatisfactory is that I was once a world class sleeper. I could nap with the best of nappers. I enjoyed sleeping and dreaming. I happily anticipated bedtime. Alas no longer. I wake frequently all night every night. It doesn't matter if I nap during the day or not or if I go to bed early or late. I remember my aunt telling me one morning that she hadn't slept all night. I didn't believe her then, I thought she must have slept and just didn't remember it. I believe it now. I had a sleep study done 3 weeks ago and have an appointment with the sleep doctor to get the results next week. I have some Lunesta but I am rather hesitant to take it regularly. How I would enjoy a good night's sleep!

I went through a period of not sleeping well. It was mostly due to not getting enough exercise and drinking wine.
No problems now.
