Feed them lots of turkey. I’m not kidding. It is the L-trytophan that puts you to sleep at Thanksgiving.

That amino acid (after much magic in the body) will boost their seratonin levels.

Also add some niacin to their diets. A multivite will do. It makes it all work better.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRIs, e.g. Prozac, Zoloft, etc., have been prescribed for an assortment of psychiatric/psychological diagnoses. Enter serotonin syndrome or serotonin discontinuation syndrome into PubMed. This stuff gets complicated. The drug companies have not been helpful. IIRC, Senator Schumer wanted hearings about school shootings and antidepressants. It might get interesting.

" It makes it all work better."

And sleep is very important.

Remove all caffienated beverages from the house, don't allow her to drink caf. bev. away from home, particularly after noon, don't allow her to be on the computer or telephone late at night, get her some regular strenuous aerobic exercise, make sure she has room-darkening shades, etc.

Both of you will sleep much better.

Feed them lots of turkey. I’m not kidding. It is the L-trytophan that puts you to sleep at Thanksgiving.

The protein in the turkey counteracts the LTrytophan. But you can get it in pill form in some health food stores. Three caplets before bedtime (with juice or water not milk) is the best way to do it.
