Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2008sleep and nutrition
Dear Friends, I heard something a couple of weeks back that I have tried! A nutritionist told me that when you wake at night you should eat some sort of protein. Protein will help you go back to sleep and to stay asleep. I've tried this and it seems to work for me. Just thought I'd pass it along for others! Vickie B. > Dear Friends, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Vickie B. hmmmm, now I just have to work out how to keep some readyto eat protein around. Here's another time I wish I wasn't allergic to diary! I'm almost recovered from lousy sleep Tuesday morning- could have used some protein then!

Just my .0002 Vickie B. > Nann, how about lunch meat or deli meat? > > Just my .0002 > > Vickie B. It's a thought, I'll have to see if anything decent is available the next time we go into town. Then we just have to worry about not finishing it off during the daytime hours..... SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Thanks Vickie. The last few weeks, I've been waking up hungry during the night. Now I'll know what to eat. Gwen > Dear Friends, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Vickie B. Do they have any calorie free protein?

Special K makes one and there are a few others out there. Jo Yah, I saw an ad for some of that protein water drinks - *theirs* only had 25 calories. I just can't see spending money on water like that. Of course, I have such good water from my faucet, I just can't justify buying water. They do a good business, I guess. Half the counter in the drinks section is assorted water, reinforced and not. SignatureNavy Take out the FISH to email me. > >> Do they have any calorie free protein?

Half the counter in the drinks > section is assorted water, reinforced and not. Special K sells packets that you add to your own water for a protein boost. My daughter and my grandson say it is palatable. So many protein additives are not. I don't like buying water either. And our tap water is just great. But its so hot and dry here in the summer I'll do anything to get some extra water into the kids. Its hard to keep your own containers really clean. Our tap water isn't cold enough in the summers, so I keep a bottle of that in the refrigerator. That also allows the extra chlorine they use in the summer to burn off before you drink it. Jo We lived in the desert in Yuma for two years and the water is very tepid from the tap, so bottling works well. It's hard to keep the containers clean when the kids are using them. We didn't like swimming in the summer as the pool water was like lukewarm bath water, and not very refreshing. I did like the desert anyway and didn't want to live but with both of us out of work, we had to leave - the only job possibilities were promises of six months down the road - that won't pay the utilities, etc. Sure had some gorgeous sunsets there.

Vickie B. interesting. how much protein, vickie? grams or however it is easiest for you to gauge. kate Sometimes I take one carton of yogurt but like tonight I used just 1/4 oz of cheese. Any amount will do! Vickie B.
