Default notes from the sleep doc yearly visit

Hi,

1 Sleep doc suggests 500 micrograms of melatonin four hours before bed for some of his people.

2 He recommends not sleeping in. On a day off he says it is good to sleep only an hour past the normal wake up time.

3 Bright light in the morning is good. Bright light at night is bad ---for example light from a computer. I asked him if sunglasses at night helped. He said yes.

4 The bed room should be quiet, dark, and cool at night, but he likes people sleeping with shades open so that they get natural light in the morning.

5 Naps are bad in his world of course.

=-=-=-=-=
Mostly I was there so his office could check that my c-pap machine is still working for me. I see him again in a year.
