Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well that depends...... Is there a nap in there during the day? If the answer to that is yes, I would have labs for the thyroid done. 13 hours of sleep at night plus a nap during the day? Hmmmmmmmmmmm? nnaMommy to Freddie 6 yrs Full Inclusion KindyThe Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

He'll wake up 1 to 2 times a night. Yes, it has gotten old and it's gotten to a point where if he gets up once a night, we call it a good night! It's all relative!!! I read a sleep study recently where they found that children with down syndrome wake more often and spend less time in REM sleep than the average child. Here's the link: http://www.aasmnet. org/Articles. aspx?id=903 Judy [DownSyndromeInfoEx change] Sleep disorders Hi- My daughter was just diagnosed with sleep arousal disorder and disorder of the maintenace of sleep. We did a sleep study to rule of apnea. The report says that she only had one apnea and 11 hypopneas but that was normal. I am waiting to talk to the doctor and then I hope I will get more info about what if anything we can do. My daughter is 4 1/2 and has been waking up everynight and that means that we are waking up too. I am so tired of not getting enough sleep. She has reflux, if she doesnt have bad sleep apnea, then could it be reflux causing her sleep disorders. Anyone have the same issues? thank you Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
