How to Drop the Sleep Meds and Improve Your Sleep Naturally By: Laurie Higgins A study published by the National Institutes of Health estimates that about 30 percent of adults in the United States suffer from insomnia. Insomnia is a frustrating condition for which many people take sleep medications. The National Health Interview Survey published by the CDC indicates that about 8.4 percent of adults take medication to sleep, either every day or most days of the month. Women are more likely to use sleep medications and, in general, use increases with age. The downside of sleep medications is they are associated with an increase in dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease. Since these medications can be habit forming, we asked primary care physician Holly Womack, MD, for advice on how people can wean off of these medications. Dr. Womack practices at Strawberry Hill Primary Care in Hyannis, and also works as a hospitalist at Cape Cod Hospital four shifts a month.

The Christmas Choir is a 2008 Hallmark movie about a workaholic accountant, Peter Brockman, who has his life fall apart and decides to volunteer at a homeless shelter. There, he is inspired by the musical talents of some residents and forms a choir, which helps the men find a new purpose, a way to earn money, and personal confidence. The film is based on a true story about the Montreal Accueil Bonneau Choir. Bring your favorite drink and a comfy seat cushion if you’d like. We’ll provide popcorn. Questions?
