THEATRICS
A cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh
Amarillo Theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he
whispered to the cowboy, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one
seat."
The cowboy groaned but didn't budge. The usher became more
impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have
to call the manager."
The cowboy just groaned. The usher marched briskly back up the
aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager. Together the
two of them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no
success. Finally, they summoned the police.
The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right
buddy, what's your name?"
"Sam," the cowboy moaned.
"Where ya from, Sam?"
With pain in his voice Sam replied, "The balcony."

Email tip to orbuae@gmail.com
A Little Bite Before Bed
If you have trouble drifting off, the right bedtime snack
may help promote a more restful night's sleep.
In a study, a tryptophan-rich snack before bed helped study
participants sleep better and promoted morning alertness.
Foods that provide a dose of tryptophan include bananas,
dairy, nuts, eggs, soybeans, tuna, and chicken. Keep the
serving size small and have your snack about an hour
before bed.
RealAge Benefit: Getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night
can make your RealAge as much as 3 years younger.
The amino acid tryptophan is a protein precursor of serotonin,
a brain chemical that promotes relaxation and sleep.
In a recent study, people with mild sleep complaints who
consumed a tryptophan-enriched protein drink shortly before
bedtime slept better and experienced increased morning
alertness. Other food sources of tryptophan include milk,
oatmeal, baked potatoes, chicken, turkey, brown rice,
bananas, yogurt, sunflower seeds, and nuts such as almonds
and peanuts. A carbohydrate-rich snack before bed also may
promote sleepiness. If you have chronic sleep troubles,
see your healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.
