The welcome embrace of sleep most of us cherish and recognize as good medicine can become elusive as we age. Tales abound of Grandpa rising at 4 a.m. or Grandma getting up at all hours of the night.
While in his mid-60s, Leland Fager of Milton-Freewater found the stories true.Previously, the retiree from Alaska took for granted a solid chunk of uninterrupted sack time, he said. Having spent years in jobs requiring a high level of alertness, sleep was as important as safety gear.When the zzzzs began dissipating, everything changed.Now 68, Fager recalled those nights as a state of "half-asleep, half-awake ... and thinking about tomorrow."I was tired all day."Worse, his wife of 43 years was none too happy. .
FDA issues warning about cold medication for children
The Federal Food and Drug Administration issued a warning Thursday that children through the age of 2 should not be given over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. The agency also is considering whether OTC cold remedies are safe and effective for children younger than 12. Parents searching for a way to treat a cold in children can use Tylenol or acetaminophen for a fever, said Ellen Schumann, pediatrician at Marshfield Clinic Weston Center. "Another thing that helps a lot is saltwater nose drops or nasal spray," Schumann said. A saltwater spray releases the congestion and can be wiped away. "A parent could use a bulb syringe to suck it out, but it's not necessary," she said. Other treatments for a cold are to sleep with the head elevated, use a humidifier next to the bed when sleeping, stay well-hydrated and keep the nose lubricated with Vaseline, Schumann said.
