Living alone

Sir, – When I read Ellen Oliver’s letter on living alone (Letters, January 26th) where she mentioned her 11pm cup of tea, my immediate thought was of John Lennon’s song How Do You Sleep? After all, any sleep guru worth their salt nowadays will tell you: no caffeine after 2pm. – Yours, etc,
