AF is а 62-yeаr-оld femаle whо presents tо the clinic today with sleep complaints. She reports that she has difficulty initiating AND maintaining sleep. She typically goes to bed at around 10:30 PM and most nights it takes her 90 minutes to fall asleep. In addition, many nights she awakens 3-4 times and loses about 60 minutes of sleep from this. She has been taking ramelteon for her sleep, but it has not been working for her. She walks each day at lunchtime with friends at the senior center. She consumes 1-2 cups of caffeinated coffee during the morning and does not smoke. AF recently had her thyroid hormone levels tested and they were normal.
