Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Martha, I wish I had answers for you - there has got to be a way (somehow, someway) where she can be awake and be safe, so you can let your guard down. Let us know how it goes with the trazadone. Poor Andy - he will be getting teased by his students, " Did you hear about the professor who was so boring that he put himself to sleep? " Hope that makes you smile. Kim > Andy literally was falling asleep while lecturing standing up at the > u. last week.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi Martha, I'm trying to remember how old is, and what her level of functioning is (somewhere between 8 & 10...is this close?). I think has probably discovered her odd hours are getting Mom & Dad's goat, and as a double bonus she gets some extra attention from you when you wake up with her. If you remove those " incentives, " then maybe she will be more inclined to stay in bed and just maybe fall back asleep. Since I do not remember her level of functioning, this advice may have to be adjusted. I would " -proof " the down-stairs so that she can't hurt herself, can't get into the fridge to get snacks, and can't do anything fun while she's down there, like watch TV (maybe unplug the TV). And then I would let her get up and go downstairs, but DO NOT go and interact with her, not even to try and get her to go back to bed. And the next morning, if she made it back to her bed--give her lots of praise, and if she didn't, don't say anything about it. The next night just start her back in bed and do the same thing. It will probably take some time, but eventually she will get bored because there is not reaction from you. This is how I'm imagining I might handle the situation...my little guy is not even a year yet (so I'd appreciate feedback in knowing if my little vicarious parenting works or not)! (mom to Evan, 8 mos) lewcap@... wrote: To all, I recall posting our old and successful remedies for sleep difficulties. Suddenly, Andy and I are at a loss. I called my psychiatrist brother tonight; he almost never gives suggestions. However, tonight, he suggested giving 100 mg of Trazedone rather than her usual small dose but said he didn't know enough about Melatonin to say anything. got up @ 3:00 or before, yelling and stomping. For Tim: I really don't think this was pain. Unfortunately, I think that K. has hit on getting up to have a snack as an issue. Laurie Denno had us set the clock and also make one showing that she had to stay in bed until 6:00. We'll keep at that, but I doubt that it will work. She is simply hell bent on going downstairs whenever she wakes. I promise never to even suggest that we've solved a problem in the future! It seems that our kiddos change as they grow. That apology given, does anyone have ANY suggestions? We are just out of it. Andy literally was falling asleep while lecturing standing up at the u. last week. This has to change...

Martha, Could you set a snack up in her room before she goes to bed and show it to her and tell her if you wake up in the night, you have to have your snack in your room? I'm not sure if this would work or not, but it's worth a try. Good luck, no sleep bites... Mom to Kennedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Martha, So there's another reason I love Laurie! What she told you is what we did that worked. Sleep used to be a battle for us and as soon as she could control the TV we allowed Patty to watch it and that let us sleep. That didn't really work as she " learned " to do that. We tried tons and tons of things and you will never guess what finally worked! We had a note card and wrote 5:00 on it and told her that was the time she could get out of her bed. We also put a glass of water on her night stand and said if she were thirsty she could drink that and not get out of bed for anything else, even if she were hungry. Now of course Patty was one little smarty pants. She learned that if she said she had to go to the bathroom she was able to get out of her bed. As she wasn't even totally dry at night I responded instantly to her at first. Then I realized she was getting a positive connection from me (though it was a negative for me!). So, we set a timer. If she didn't go within two minutes she had to go back to bed. She would scream " Not done yet " but I had to make her go to bed anyway. I couldn't have a conversation with her about anything, even about her nightmares or really night terrors! Now with the learning patterns for Patty we had to throw all that out the window when she was ill. Then it was back to the beginning. I have to also admit that it wasn't easy. If Patty got out of her bed I had to make sure I sent her right back WITHOUT EMOTIONS or conversation. If she said she had to go the bathroom and didn't go within the two minutes I had to tell her time's up and send her back to bed WITHOUT EMOTIONS. She'd get out of bed and I would bring her back, she'd get out and I would bring her back, she'd get out.... Every time I brought her back I showed her the time and said it's not time yet. It took about two weeks for her to realize I was sticking to my guns. UGH that was hard. But it was the thing that worked. The hardest part of all of it was not showing irritation in the middle of the night. Who's calm when you are continually waking and have to deal with the sleep issues. And last when worse came to worse I allowed her to sleep on our bedroom floor or the " magic " couch. That was a pull out couch that kept bad dreams away. For some silly reason she stayed in it. Who knows why? Patty also had a dream catcher if that helps any. That makes good dreams go through and bad dreams get caught. We read a book about it and then we made the dream catchers together and talked about it as we did it. It helped her. Her sister had one too. I think they still have them! Oh, and one more thing that we still use today. If she can't sleep she drinks warm " night time " tea. It is not caffeinated. I also sometimes put ginger and/or lemon in it. I think it loosens the guck in her head, comforts her stomach and calms her body enough to relax. I am also a person who has her own sleep problems. I have insomnia every now and then. If I stay up later than my own bedtime then I just can't sleep. If I have sugar or ice cream at night I can't sleep. If I have Mac 's I can''t sleep. If I am worried I can't sleep. If I...I can't sleep. a is the same as me so we are able to understand Patty more. ( falls asleep as soon as his head hits that pillow) There are also mind games we play to sleep. We " erase " any thoughts we have to keep our mind from thinking. We " change channels " and by that I mean we try to think about something else like the types of professions that people work at during the night. We count backwards from 1,000 and we do relaxation techniques making our feet calm and heavy first, then our ankles, then our lower legs, then our knees, and so on till our body is heavy and calm. That helps tons too. Finally, we force ourselves to stay in bed as long as we can. I know you probably know to do all this and more. But that's all I got. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 To all, but especially Tim, Bonnie, , , and Kim: I'll respond more later. We've had a hellish night already, and it's not even midnight, nor is it a issue. Tornados all around, sirens blasting. Used Tim's and my brother's input on meds; then, of course, I had to drag to the basement, really cutting into any hope for sleep. I truly don't think there's a way during a crisis to explain to a visually impaired and totally deaf individual why she has to sit on the basement steps with the dogs in the middle of the night. Said dogs had me go outside with them in my nightgown and Birkenstocks because they needed my motherly reassurance... Life here stays odd. At any rate, when the weather calms and I have a minute, I really want to reply. Everything you said rang a big bell, Bonnnie, and Kim you brought me a big grin! The thunder has started again. Bye.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Martha, One does wonder about the timing of life sometimes. You finally have her sound asleep and then have to force her awake. Do you know anyone who writes scripts for movies, they may need a little inspiration. (Hope you are laughing.) It is either that or screaming!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Martha, No pearls of wisdom from this end but lots of empathy and sympathy as I am having 's problem today. At the other end of the spectrum, our little imp was also awake from 3.30am having gone to sleep at 10.30pm! Age 5 and 5 hours sleep. Well, off she went to school (you don't get off that lightly around here!) and poor teachers nearly had another panic when she fell asleep on the way back from a school trip. She NEVER falls asleep in transport. They had trouble waking her so since she had a fit two weeks ago, they thought this was what it was this time too. Little horror got lots of sympathy and bounced back to " health " after her nap. Me? I have been trying to stay awake most of the day. Hope you find some answers soon before you all get too spaced out for to even stay upright in his lectures. At least I know our situation will be short-lived for until she gets whatever bug she is now bound to be brewing out of her system, then she will be back to perhaps x2 per week waking instead of every night.....until the next bug comes along.
