Need Sleep

I find that sleeping has become a luxury since I've gotten older.  If I'm able to sleep a full night without waking up, I feel blessed.  I haven't started taking  sleep aids  as yet, because I don't want to become dependent on them. I once tried a certain type, but they tore up my stomach and I was miserable the next day.  I guess I'll have to break down and get on a certain diet and consult my doctor for some aid.
