Hello Helen, Probably the easiest method (that is completely safe -- consult your MD) is to administer a small dose of MELATONIN. The dosage should be take on an empty stomach about one hour before bed. Start with 3 mg and gradually increase to 10 mg if needed. I have found this to be very effective with my own father's situation. Melatonin can be purchased at most health food stores or very cheaply through the mail order system. Melatonin has an added bonus in being a (very) possible anti-cancer agent.
