Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Penny seeking clarity as i to agree but wondered how does melatonin help of this issues for some of us to sleep then even if it is of for 4 hours it is of a more strong sleep for me. but again I to need of much things like a cat LOL who nestles until things are of just right and then snuggles into the sleep. but any little things can re awake of me and causes me to never refind that sleep for much hours. it is of quite frustrating. lately it has been of my pets doing this waking me over and over, sondra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people become too dependent on taking melatonin. Believe me, I understand the driving desire for sleep and for our kids to sleep, too. didn't sleep for longer that 20-30 minutes at a time for the first 18 months of her life. Sensory integration therapy, cranial sacral therapy and homeopathy helped her sleep for longer periods. Now she sleeps 9 straight hours and never wakes up except when she's sick. I never used melatonin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yes it can overshadow proprioception issues and induce sleep, usually for about 4 hrs. This is why many find that melatonin often results in night waking, although not always. As you have noted, it's not necessary to take it every night to see the effects. > what I to be of wondering on though is if the proprio is of neurolgy > and in part which i to agree , is in part related to sleep issues, I > to wondered then how Melotonin seems to work for some kids as it > seems to somehow cross over that barrier of proprio enough to allow > sleep for some.
