Sleepless and sleep studies..

[Guest guest]

Hello All and Happy new year!

So I havent post much latelly sice Miss Gabby went back to her old routine of

waking up around 1-2 am and stay up until 5-6 am.... and of course not ready to

go to school until 10 so she can catch ( and I can too) some sleep...

Melatonin is not working anymore.. she can fall asleep easly at night.. but when

I repeat the melatonin at 2 am.. doesnt work anymore...

She is not upset but she is " singing " ( you know.. those noises and sounds they

make)

some nights is just her singing, and throwing everything out of her bed

(blankets, pillows.. and more) and some nights. we go to the extreme where she

gets naked.... and of course she gets cold and wants her stuff back... and that

means mommy has to come in.. change her, dress her up again and put everything

back in bed...

So tired...

so I wonder... anyone has this going on? I mean .. similar? We did a sleep study

and she has sleep abnea... got her tonsils and adenoids out..

Called our pedi. explained the whole thing.. day routine, bedtime routine and

night routine.. he said we are doing everything we can..

and he suggested repeat the sleep study...

I seriously hate the sleep study... since she wont sleep anywhere else but her

own bed...

arggh...

ideas please?

She prescribed double the normal dose of BENEDRYL (50 mg on an 80 lb kid(at that time).  He slept and continued to sleep a good 7-9 hours a nite with no morning sleepiness or dozing off during the day!!  We continued this medication for 10 years.  Now, as an adult of 26, he occasionally needs Benedryl after 2-3 nights of not being sleepy.  We also use it if he must travel by plane.  Then plane delays, change of pressure don't bother him.
