Question

1. Because he has difficulty falling asleep at night, Professor Hogan doesn't go to bed until very late. Before he retires, he tries to wear himself out by running around the block several times. Then he treats himself to a beer and perhaps a pizza while preparing his lecture for the next day's early morning classes. What specific advice would you give the professor to help him fall asleep?100 -150words

Answer 1

Dr. Hogan most likely is suffering from insomnia as he has really unhealthy sleep habits. His activities are disrupting his sleeping patterns and I strongly advise him to stop. Instead, he should be excercising everyday in late afternoon. Also instead of drinking beer and eating pizza, he should avoid caffiene and rich or sugary foods before bedtime becasue it will only keep him up longer. I advise him to drink milk instead because it is rich in serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that facilitates sleep. Instead of preparing fot the next day's classes at night, Dr. Hogan should relax before bedtime, go to bed earlier and try to maintain a regular sleep schedule. He should also turn his clock face down so that he is not tempted to continue checking the time because that will only keep him up longer. Sleep loss causes great harm and Dr. Hogan should be aware of that.
