Carole, At night, I frequently use an herbal suppliment called Valerian in tablet form. It's a muscle relaxer, I think. Another thing that helps me sleep (I don't know why) is to take two TUMS tablets. I don't have a professional medical endorsement for this. I just tried it. It would be a good idea toget a doctor or pharmacist opinion before proceeding. Regards, George "Carole K.

They are having trouble getting Ted to sleep for any length of time at the hospital.
