Insomnia — Low-fat or non-fat (skim) milk as a natural sleep aid?

Q: I’m a curious insomniac 🙂 I know that warm milk is a natural sleep aid because of trytophans. Does skim milk or low-fat milk work just as well?

A: Milk is milk despite the fat content, it all contains trytopahans.I have some other advice on how to treat insomina.When you go to sleep make sure you do it in a dark room, a room that should only be used for sleeping, pull the TV out. Make sure it is a relaxing place to sleep as well. Hold off on any caffeine at least 6 hours before bed, and the exercise as well. One-half hour before you go to bed dim the lights a little, this will increase the body’s natural production of a sleep hormone called Melatoin. A glass of warm milk will do the same. When you go to bed compose yourself for sleep, relax and push out all thoughts of the day. If you cannot do this then think of something else, something that you like, even a sexual fantasy. If you don’t fall asleep in 20 minutes then get out of bed. Then do something quiet, like watch the TV on low volume or read, but don’t do this in the bedroom. After 20 minutes try to go back to sleep again. If it still doesn’t work then get up and do something quiet, and try it again in 20 minutes.I run a fan all night in my bedroom. The mind gets used to the white noise, and it covers up the noise around you. Don’t put the fan on oscillate, where it blows over you and then elsewhere, that will distract you. If it gets too cold then point the fan into a corner. I have blocked my shade with a few posters, and made sure that as little light as possible enters my room. Put your alarm clock where you cannot see it, or just turn it away. If you track time then you will only get mad at yourself for not falling asleep. You might try playing some music, use a CD, not a radio. You want a constant level of music. Try something soothing like easy listening or classical. If classical music bores you then that would be the best to use.If all this doesn’t work then you need more help. The sleep medications that you can buy over the counter are really a sham, and won’t do you any good. You can pick up Melatoin in the drug store or any major supermarket. It is fairly cheap and comes in 1 mg to 3 mg doses. Start at 1 mg a night and work your way up to a maximum of 4 mg, after that any more is a waste.If you are still having trouble then a doctor visit is in order. Drugs like Ambien and Lunesta may not be what you want. They are good for a week or two, but they are habit forming. I don’t mean that you will get a craving; I mean that after taking these medications for a long time you will acquire a need to take the drug just to get to sleep. A good drug to take is called Trazodone. As prescription medications go this is a fairly cheap one. It is an antidepressant normally used for treating Cocaine treatment. It has a major side effect of causing sleepiness. It is a safe drug to take over the long term, it is not habit forming, and it has few other effects. It is a pretty poor antidepressant, but a good sleep aid. It is also available in a range of doses so your doctor can keep increasing it several times until you find a dose that works well for you. I took it for over 6 years. After that the ringing in my ears got to be a minor problem, so I switched to another drug. I am back on it, and have been for almost 2 years, and I have had no problems. There are stronger medications you can take, but if you need them, then you have a real problem: much more than just stress.I recommend going to the Melatoin right away. It won’t give you any hangover and its effects will wear off after 4-6 hours, but by that time you should be sound asleep. Find a way to reduce your stress. Some things you just have to accept. Oddly enough it is the everyday worries that cause more stress. When you worry about doing something and just don’t get it done then that can create stress. You know that when you go to work you are going to face traffic. So get a book on CD or something that will let you use the time better; that way you will stress less about the traffic. Expect the idiots on the road to try and cut you off. They are out there and they are just hunting for guys like you to make angry. So don’t play their game. Remember that a traffic light is only 3 minutes long. I heard of a race once, it was held between an aggressive driver, and a law-abiding driver, over a 30-minute commute. The aggressive driver stacked up a dozen traffic violations and he only beat the law-abiding driver by only 8 minutes.Sleep is very important to your body and mind. It is the time for the body to heal and for the mind to go over the things of the day. If you do not get enough sleep after a while (well over a week) it can cause hallucinations and later even result in death.Tips for a Good Night’s SleepProvided by: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokehttp://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Am2PMUriLj07OYvu6mao5zTDtcUF/SIG=1179t4bbp/**http%3a//www.ninds.nih.gov/index.htm Last Updated: July 1, 2001Adapted from “When You Can’t Sleep: The ABCs of ZZZs,” by the National Sleep Foundation. Set a schedule Go to bed at a set time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Disrupting this schedule may lead to insomnia. “Sleeping in” on weekends also makes it harder to wake up early on Monday morning because it re-sets your sleep cycles for a later awakening.Exercise Try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day. Daily exercise often helps people sleep, although a workout soon before bedtime may interfere with sleep. For maximum benefit, try to get your exercise about 5 to 6 hours before going to bed.Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol Avoid drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and keeps people awake. Sources of caffeine include coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Smokers tend to sleep very lightly and often wake up in the early morning due to nicotine withdrawal. Alcohol robs people of deep sleep and REM sleep and keeps them in the lighter stages of sleep.Relax before bed A warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine can make it easier to fall sleep. You can train yourself to associate certain restful activities with sleep and make them part of your bedtime ritual.Sleep until sunlight If possible, wake up with the sun, or use very bright lights in the morning. Sunlight helps the body’s internal biological clock reset itself each day. Sleep experts recommend exposure to an hour of morning sunlight for people having problems falling asleep.Don’t lie in bed awake If you can’t get to sleep, don’t just lie in bed. Do something else, like reading, watching television, or listening to music, until you feel tired. The anxiety of being unable to fall asleep can actually contribute to insomnia.Control your room temperature Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Extreme temperatures may disrupt sleep or prevent you from falling asleep.See a doctor if your sleeping problem continues If you have trouble falling asleep night after night, or if you always feel tired the next day, then you may have a sleep disorder and should see a physician. Your primary care physician may be able to help you; if not, you can probably find a sleep specialist at a major hospital near you. Most sleep disorders can be treated effectively, so you can finally get that good night’s sleep you need.

Does drinking a lot of skim milk make you fat?

Q: If you drink 1 full gallon of non-fat skim milk per day, would that make you fat? I know it contains no fat, but a each cup of skim milk contains about 90 calories. I’m just wondering, if you’re a pretty skinny/average sized person already… and you consume 1 gallon of skim milk a day… how will it translate to the body? I’ve been working out often, and hoping to put on some more lean muscle. I know there’s better ways (like protein supplements) but I’m just curious how non-fat milk would work. Would I get fat from all that milk consumption in a day, or would I just look bigger and not fat really?Thanks in advance. :)I’m 5’6 and weigh 130lbs. I’ll be incorporating cardio in the future but hurt my knee about a month ago so running is out for now. Mostly just weight training until my knee gets better. So, I’m somewhat active.I also eat pretty healthy. It’s not like I’d be relying on solely the milk.I think some of you are misunderstanding my question. I don’t want to lose any weight, I want to put on some weight that will be lean muscle, and not fat. Would drinking 1 gallon of skim milk a day do that?

A: One gallon of skim milk will net 1440 calories and although it is possible to lose weight on that amount of calories, it is also a very unbalanced diet. There are no fruits, vegetables or starches in that diet. One thing that would help me guide you better would be an idea of how tall you are, how active you are and how much you now weigh. I can then put you on a healthy diet mix. Best of luck.

Is 8 ounces of low-fat skim milk healthy in the morning?

Q: I read that skim milk is healthy and the lactose proteins are diffucult to digest and make your stomach feel full longer. But, when I read about the study it was paid for by the American dairy Association. Mt grandmother says that dairy is bad and that it makes you fat— that no grown wild animals use milk. That the animal kingdom only uses milk to fatten and stablize their young.But, I am confused because of all the osteoporsis warning– I don’t want to be an old lady with brittle bones

A: milk is good for ya, your grandma is just old fashion… prolly has osteoporsis, sorry to say that!!!Drinking milk, or eating dairy products will help you more than it will hurt you!Babies drink milk to develope? RIGHT
