Interesting.

Yeah, I sure do miss good, deep sleep now that I am a senior. Was a time, I could sleep through a very loud alarm clock. Now, I do not even need one.

God Help me. I’m going to be completely senile by the age of 55 if this is true.

Well, if it’s any consolation to you, I am 66, never get a good night’s sleep, and, so far, I have no memory problems. I have always been pretty good at memorizing, and, I have not lost that ability yet.

Both excellent and stupid stuff originated from Berkley.

Adhering to the Earth clock is probably the biggest problem.

So THAT'S where the bladder is located.

LOL!!

I had three aunties live into their late 90s. If one of them got particularly cranky, I would buy her a box of Depends and tell her to "take a vacation" -- just to be able to lie in bed without getting up three times a night and finding the cane so she could toddle to the bathroom in the dark.

Melatonin gave me disturbing dreams.

You responded to this almost a year later! For a second I thought I was losing it, as I hadn’t remembered the original post.

It must have been a memorable thread, because someone else linked to it on a current thread about older people’s memory issues! And they remembered it — LOL!!
