Re: Son having trouble going to sleep

[Guest guest]

Oh we went tru this when my son was younger. We would be alseep before he

was after laying down with him for hours, reading books, etc. Right now we

are using 5HTP for calming. It is also supposed to help with sleep issues.

People are using Moodsync from Pain Stresser.com, which I have on order. My

son does not have sleep issues since he is on Risperdal the last 8 years.

He is an adult now and his moods and behaviors were a mess. I decided to

try the 5HTP to help get his moods back in control. So far so good Day 5.

I give him 25mg in am and 25mg in PM. Hope this helps. Eileen

We use melatonin to help my daughter get to sleep. We have used it for years

with no problem and it works like a charm.

Son having trouble going to sleep

Well, tonight was worse than other nights. My son took over 2 hours

to fall asleep. Typically, it can take about an hour on average per

night. Tonight I tried putting him to sleep 15 minutes earlier.

I've also tried 15-30 minutes later and still I seem to get around an

hour for him to fall asleep.

Once he falls asleep, he normally will sleep through the night. I

just hate wasting so much of our time laying around in the dark.

He also tends to be somewhat hyper at night (and worse behavior in

general). He has big ups and downs throughout the day -- going from

laying around to racing around. Does anyone have any ideas? He's four

years old.

Commonly associated with phenol intolerance and yeast

Can also be certain supplements, or lack of certain supplements, or

virus issues.

What supplements, if any, do you give now?

For my 3 yr. old son, this was yeast.

I recently began treating him for yeast and now he is asleep within

5 mins. It's like a miracle happened!
