Re: sleep problems!....our story: vit b was the answer

[Guest guest]

my son battled insomnia since onset of autism. in the last year it was even

worse, for 9mo severe insomnia effected every aspect of his life. he was

sleeping on average 3 or 4 hrs a day, most of the time not falling asleep until

3am or later.

a big sign i did not understand was that he was undergoing severe vitamin b

deficiency. he constantly had cracked lips....not understanding what i was

looking at we switched around ssri's to find one that would regulate his sleep

patterns. the ssri's probably were part of the problem with depletion of

vitamins,

finally big the brake came when I stumbled across info stating insomnia is a

product of vitamin b deficiency, the cracked lips were one of the outward signs

listed.

i added in vitamin b complex 150mg plus reg adult multi vitamin and within

3wks of this he started to sleep normally, and has been ever since.

i am a big time believer forever more in the power of vitamin b.....

Hi all!

I'm new here and was wondering if someone could give me some

suggestions on how to get my son to bed at a descent hour.

My 5 year old son has autism and it seems no matter how tired

he is he wont go to bed untill he's ready, we have a routine every night

he watches a movie or I read books to him then it's bed time, but I

cant seem to get him to sleep before 10pm , he is in school now and he

fights me everyday getting up to go to school, I think he would be

better if he got more sleep, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Debbie
