Re: Friday the 13th and Full Moon

YES - I do believe a connection. Neither of my kids sleep well during a full

moon (regarless of the date)-so as a result, neither do I. and I am not a

superstitious person. But something about the moon must effect

biorythims...Take Care.

Amazingly, we put down at 8:00 last night and he slept until 7:00

this morning. Quite a feat for him. We have been giving him 1.5mg of

Melatonin at bedtime for about two weeks. It seems to be helping.

Well... it must be true for us, too! Typically we are blessed with two

children who sleep the night through (unless sick)....even my Autie never

fell into the sleep issue catagory. However, last night...full moon

night...both of them were up unexplainedly two times each. As fate would have

it, this was staggered every two hours between them (up at 11, 2, 4, 6, & up

for the day at 7am!) So I felt like I was dealing with a newborn's schedule!

Today I am almost too tired to enjoy the beautiful Fall day (at 70+

degrees!!!!) here in the Northeast. <zzzzzzzzzzz> -Ali

Dear Pat and others, Just a word of caution. Melatonin can cause night

mares with long term use. My son does well with it used on occasion but if

we use it on a daily basis, he will begin to have nightmare like behavior

(and then does not sleep well!)

Zach goes through phases. He is sleeping well right now, but about 1-2 x per

month he has a bad night. If he wakes before 3 am, I will give him

melatonin, if after that (on a school day), I can not give it.
