sleep cont'd

[Guest guest]

Ya know what else, I was just thinking - have you tried melatonin for

sleeping? My son has some seizures at night, and sometimes doesnt get that

good

REM sleep which is a seizure trigger, and the neuro suggested melatonin and I

give him melatonin religiously 6 mg every night, and it really does change

his sleep pattern, he actually goes into full rem sleep and when he wakes up

now, he is refreshed, the nights that I miss giving it to him, he would toss

and turn, and the next day we would have quite a few seizures, so I make it a

point. Before the melatonin, he would argue about going to bed, now he

actually goes to bed with no problems, he's no longer afraid.

Hope this helps.
