Write a letter to the editor i Late night talk shows only partly to blame for our lack of sleep From Page 4 And I'm as guilty' as the next. Television is partly to blame, with its nightly news, Sportscentre and Daily Show at 11 p.m. and local news and late-night talk shows not until 11:30 p.m. While the solution to not getting enough sleep is simple •enough - go to bed earlier - eating a proper breakfast is a little more complicated. Here are just a few tips from the OHEA. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier, as this will give you plenty of time for a real breakfast. Keep quick and healthy choices on -hand, such as fresh fruit, individ- ually sized low-fat yogurt cups, a handful of nuts mixed with raising in snack -sized bags, small cartons of milk or. 100 per cent juice and low - sugar cereals such as Shredded Wheat or Cheerios. . And finally, remember to set a good example. Kids do imitate others, especially their parents. . `Sturdy and industrious' Bracer brothers buy blacksmith shop in Dublin in 1881 SEPTEMBER 2, 1881 The Red Mill in this town is now in full operation and gristing, flouring and chopping will be attended to promptly.
