Ahhhh, sleep. Yep, we finally got some sleep in this house. My dear sweet lovable 6 year old son is an insomniac. The last 2 months have been especially bad. Some nights we are lucky if he gets to sleep by midnight. Most nights it would be 1 or 2 am. He has to get up for school at 6:30, so needless to say, we've all been tired and grouchy. He went to the Dr yesterday for a check-up for his ADHD and ASD. I mentioned that they boy is getting no sleep. This wonderful doctor said a few words that made my heart sing. Melatonin.... over the counter..... natural. He told us to try to give him 3 mg of melatonin an hour before bed and if he wasn't asleep 30 minutes before bed to give him another one. 1 hour 15 minutes after giving him 1 pill he was out like a light.
I'm thinking really serious about going to the Dr's office and giving the Dr a big ole pregnant lady lap dance. We all got enough sleep last night that I don't even think my husband would care.
If you are reading this Dr B.... I'm coming for ya!
Next time I title a post hello old friend, maybe I will be talking about my feet.... now those I haven't seen in much longer than a few months.
That is awesome!! I'm really hoping it keeps working for him!!
