DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a reasonably healthy 76-year-old woman. I eat a healthy diet, avoid processed sugar, and work out usually twice a week, plus one day with a personal trainer. I am a breast cancer survivor. I drink 5 ounces of wine with dinner on weeknights and slightly more on the weekends. I am in bed around 11:30 p.m. every night and asleep easily by midnight without any sleep aids other than magnesium glycinate.

---DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a retired and active 73-year-old who plays tennis and regularly goes to the gym. I often take long naps and sleep for 2 or 3 hours. At night, I often sleep 4 or 5 hours. My understanding is that someone in my age range should be getting 7 hours of sleep. If I take a 2-hour nap, and at night I sleep 5 hours, am I getting the proper amount of rest? kAmp=D@[ :7 x 42?VE D=66A[ x @7E6?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a CT scan of my chest and abdomen for pain, and they made a note that I also had coronary atherosclerosis. What is this condition? Can medications help? Can it be treated without surgery? -- P.D.ANSWER: A computed tomography (CT) scan gives multiple two-dimensional slices of the body and is very good at looking at many medical issues. Modern CT scanners are so good that they can find calcium depositions inside major blood vessels.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a retired and active 73-year-old who plays tennis and regularly goes to the gym. I often take long naps and sleep for 2 or 3 hours. At night, I often sleep 4 or 5 hours. My understanding is that someone in my age range should be getting 7 hours of sleep. If I take a 2-hour nap, and at night I sleep 5 hours, am I getting the proper amount of rest? Also, if I can't sleep, I often stay in bed just relaxing. Does this provide much of a benefit?
