Once upon a time there was a Magnolia car-drivin’ entrepreneur named Marsha Hill (that’s me) who lived in Kensington, MD. Marsha’s father has had heart problems since he was relatively young and isn’t an example of heart-healthy eating. Marsha’s mother, who lives in Mc Lean, suffers from emphysema due to smoking. Marsha plans to be around to spoil grandchildren in twenty years, so is trying hard to break the chain of parents’ poor examples when it comes to health.
Marsha eats a healthy diet, sweats regularly at a gym in Spencerville and can often be found doing the downward dog at a Glen Echo yoga studio. Marsha has a strong immune system and, fortunately, hardly ever gets sick. (Don’t discount the obsessive hand-washing.) And in case you were wondering, Marsha doesn’t touch cigarettes.
This all sounds good so far, right? Here is the problem. In spite of diligence, Marsha often feels less-than-normal. Why? Insomnia. Not occasional sleeplessness, Marsha goes weeks with wide awake sleep time. Our poor insomniac has watched all the old movies that play on TCM–several times each!
If you suffer from insomnia, you know that it doesn’t matter if you have a heart rate of 20, a bloodstream free of cholesterol and can run a four-minute mile–you still feel lousy!
A friend in Suburb Maryland Fac challenged me to compare some good sleep aids to find one that works for me. I start tonight with Melotrex. I did some extensive research and found only positive feedback about this all natural sleep remedy. I will use it for a week and then try 7Hour Slumber to see which one is the most effective for chronic sleeplessness. Check back soon for the end of the story.
I hope to live (and sleep) happily ever after.
