Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 My oldest had serious sleep issues. A good combo of mag/cal/zinc worked wonders for him. Also, for me.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Valerian root also helps. I use it and melatonin. I only add the valerian when she hits a spell of waking up at night. Sleep issues too! What can I gave Jane to help her (and I) sleep better? Someone mentioned Melatonin? Are there others?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 , We've been giving my 4 yr old ASD son melatonin for about a year now and it has really helped. We cut the pill into quarters and put it in small gluten free brownie. It takes about a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after that for him to fall asleep. He still has nights where he wakes up around 3 and is up for 2 hours, but they are much much less frequent than they used to be. Which is so great, because I really have my most desperate moments when I'm up with him in the middle of the night! It really makes you think about how messed up they are biologically that they can't sleep through the night. I know some people on the board have mentioned time-released melatonin which I haven't tried; the regular melatonin has worked well enough for us that I've put that issue on the back burner for now. Wishing you some sleep-filled nights! Jeannie > > What can I gave Jane to help her (and I) sleep better? Someone > mentioned Melatonin?

For my son, at first sleep problems were related to phenol intolerance and yeast http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm As biomedical progressed, sleep issues were caused and resolved by other things, but I would start with phenols and yeast because those are more common reasons.
