[quote=Anonymous]I've been trying to eat less, and that helps me sleep, ironically. I can't seem to digest food I eat at night, so I often skip dinner, which makes me sleep better. I try to eat a large breakfast and lunch, and then nothing for dinner. Doesn't always work with my family meals, but I do it as often as I can. I have gained a lot of weight post menopause (like 18 pounds, and I NEVER gained weight before, even after kids), so that has been very depressing. I am not a big exerciser, mostly walk, play a little tennis, but I am now focusing on exercising regularly to lose this belly I've grown. Sleep is a problem. As I said, when I skip dinner, I sleep a lot better, but sometimes I just wake up in the middle of the night, and lie awake for hours. Have you tried melatonin, OP? I use it when I can't fall asleep and it works. I take 1mg. Get it at Whole Foods. [/quote]
