Sleeping dis-order

by daddy54, Oct 13, 2009 03:00AM
I am 56 yrs old. I work with a airline, for the past 32 years, as a cabin-crew . My weight is 94 kgs. For the past ten years i take sleeping pills. I started wit .25 mg of Alprazolam, 10 yrs ago. Today i take one and a half tablet of 1 mg daily. Even after taking this sleep comes to me after approx 3 hrs.

I take very moderate alcohol. Food habits are basic vegeterian, with grilled fish on a regular basis. As of present, i do not exercise apart from my work.
