When you can’t sleep, the answer may be as simple as some warm milk.
Dear Rosie:
I have had trouble falling asleep at night lately. It’s starting to affect my work and my social life because I am often very tired during the day. What can I do?
GIA P.
TURIN, ITALY
Dear Gia:
Try these things to help you sleep well at night:
1.Don’t get into bed unless you’re tired. Read or watch TV until you feel drowsy;
2.Don’t pay bills or do work on your bed. You will begin to associate the bed with activities;
3.Don’t drink caffeinated coffee, tea or soft drinks for four hours before your regular time;
4.Have a hot bath or shower to help you relax;
5.Drink a cup of herbal tea or warm milk. Warm drinks can make you sleep;
6. Play soft music. This will take your mind off the day’s activities. It also screens out street sounds which can distract;
7. Encourage your body to relax. When in bed, begin to breathe deeply and slowly. Concentrate only on your breathing. You will be asleep in no time. If these tips don’t help, consult your doctor.

This was one of my experiences 1 .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the 2 department.
The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout 3 and I 4 go on one training course a year. These usually started 5 a Sunday evening and lasted six days.
Once I was 6 a week’s training course with about forty 7 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 8 behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t 9 my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been 10 about it all week. Have you got a sister 11 Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.
My answer 12
June’s question was
“Yes”,and June said,“I thought 13
.I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At
that time, my sister was working for 14 company but in a different part of the
country. That was 15
she came to be at the
training center.
16 surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister.
Three things made it even more 17 .First, she had met my sister six months
before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the
training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had 18 the
center in those six months. And 19
,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as
me.
We’re not 20 ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
