Is your partner’s fitful sleep or snoring coming
between you and a good night’s rest?
If you answered yes, you’re far from alone.
While millions of Americans have sleep disorders,
many of them don’t know it. In many cases, their
partners are the first to notice the signs of a
sleep problem — mostly because they’re getting
shortchanged on healthy sleep, too.
We asked Stephen Mueller, MD, pulmonologist
on the staff at Methodist Charlton Medical Center,
to tell us more.

Besides sleeplessness, what are
some indicators that someone might have a
sleep disorder?

Dreaming
of a good
night’s sleep?
Have you ever opened your daughter’s lunch bag after school only to find
that she ate just the jelly side of her PB&J? Or maybe you’ve wondered, a
little too deeply, what goes into those cafeteria sloppy Joes. If so, maybe
it’s time to up your school lunch game.
Follow these sure-fire tips for packing a healthy lunch even the pickiest
eaters will appreciate.
Make lunch look fun.
Sure,
sandwiches can be made into
terrific shapes, but get creative
and pick a different entrée.
Try this:
Send the fixings for
lettuce wraps, such as leftover
grilled chicken, black beans, and
shredded cheese. And with the
right accessories, a boiled egg
makes a fun snowman.
Pick a theme.
Does your kid fixate
on a particular topic, say dinosaurs?
Or maybe he loves a specific
character, book, or movie. Work
that into the design.
Try this:
Use a black marker to
turn a banana into a
Despicable
Me
minion, or top a peeled
mandarin with a pea for
Cinderella’s pumpkin.
Lunchtime?
Think outside the box
