Insomnia

...ba href=/insomnia/a/b: Greg Smith, author of The Beer Drinker's Bible (available from www.menshealthsa.co.za for R176) says women often show up at his brewery asking to buy not his beer but the hops he uses to brew it.

"They sew it into pillows," he explains.

"The smell of it is supposed to be a sleep aid..." Loosen rusty bolts: Pour some beer on them and wait a few minutes.

The carbonation may break up the rust.

Way to grow: The hops plant (ingredient giving beer its characteristic bitterness) grows 10cm per day.

While the obvious solution to this might seem seeking more people and forging friendships with them, Hawkley said loneliness is more complex than that.

“Remember, people can feel lonely even if they are with a lot of people.

You can think of Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana – there was certainly nothing lacking in their social lives, yet they claimed to have felt intensely lonely,” she said, adding that in many cases, loneliness might stem from the inability of the people to forge close bonds with others.

“They may want to go out and make friends, and yet they have a nagging lack of trust with whomever they want to interact with, or they may feel hostile.

So they end up behaving in ways that force the potential partner away,” Hawkley said.

Agreed University of Chicago's Windermere Senior Health Center medical director Deon Cox-Hayley.

“Some people can be in a large group and still feel lonely.

We still don't know how to get at the treatment of loneliness.

So how to apply the study's findings to patients is still not completely clear, but being aware of the connection is a good starting point,” Cox-Hayley said.
