Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 well, my son darian is 5 yrs. old and is starting to wake up at night, usually around 3-4 a.m and doesn't go back to sleep. i'm very exhuasted, what should i do? Wow, that sounds amazingly familiar. When that happened to my son at 5 (he’s now 10), it turned out to be headaches. We treated it with craniosacral therapy HYPERLINK " http://www.upledger.com/ " http://www.upledger.com/ And he resumed sleeping through the night almost immediately. If this is a change from what he’s been doing, then you need to rule out the common culprits of reflux, headaches, or seizures. Reflux is very common in kids with sleeping issues. Try to look back at what else may have changed in his life over the last couple of weeks. Sometimes you’ve got to be quite a detective. When it happened to us, turns out nothing had changed except that my son was eating like a horse—which meant he was having a growth spurt. In addition to not sleeping, he was butting his head into EVERYthing, so I reasoned that he may be having headaches, which turned out to be the case. I really sympathize with you because long term sleep deprivation is tough—it is actually used as a form of torture.
