Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 PS... on sleep stuff. Do you give her a dose of calcium/magnesium right before bed. That can help. (I do it for ME.... I'm a lifelong insomniac!) Our notorious sleep-shirking daughter started Melatonin several months ago for inducing sleep. It has been an absolute godsend. She's only on 500mcg, and it sends her off to a gentle sleep within 30 min. She sleeps restfully until 7 am...this is something I hope we can continue while Keto-ing it. Does anyone have a keto-friendly source for Melatonin, especially in small doses? Thanks in advance, Rose-Marie, (getting her first sleep in 5 1/2 yrs)wife to Don,mom to , (5 1/2 yrs, sleeping decently for the first time in her life!)and Becky (3 1/2 yrs)North Bend, WA, USAdon_gal@...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Rose-Marie, What is Melatonin? A drug? Herb? Can I ask why she started taking it? Was there a reason why she couldn't sleep well? My son is almost 6 and has never slept well. We have tried everything with no luck!! He's perfectlly happy and healthy, he just has a terrible time sleeping. My daughter is 2 1/2 and on the diet. Between the two of them my husband and I are like walking zombies! I would be interested in anything that might help us all get some sleep Jeni, Mom to MaKenzie 2 Ketokid & Bo 5 Re: sleep -- Melatonin? PS... on sleep stuff.
