Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 We do melatonin. It's been a tremendous amount of help. We do it on school nights only. It really helps him get the much needed sleep he needs. Otherwise he's such a light sleeper and is often still awake at 11:00 a night. Unreal. Tammy sleeping problem-help My 11 yr old is having a hard time falling asleep when he is trying to fall asleep. he does not drink caffeine or anything like that. Any suggestions for him to take something natural to fall asleep? Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi, I had problem of sleep disorder during my college days. Those days were stressful, studies and then uncertainty about the future. I would suggest try to relax, read a book and try to divert your mind from things that might be troubling you. My favorite sleeping tactic was take a book and read it before going to bed. I am not talking about interesting murder mysteries but what I felt as boring history books. I slept like a baby after implementing some of these following tips: http://www.knowabouthealth.com/10-key-sleeping-tips-to-treat-insomnia/ http://www.knowabouthealth.com/cold-room-temperature-improves-insomnia/ > > We do melatonin.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 i have a 2.8 year old with the same problem I put her into bed at 8pm and sometimes it can take her at least 2 hours to fall asleep I have resisted melatonin but perhaps that is the way to go? ________________________________ From: Tammy Kuhn <tkuhn1@...> Sent: Mon, October 26, 2009 3:15:25 AM Subject: Re: sleeping problem-help We do melatonin.

Any suggestions for him to take something natural to fall asleep? At my house, this meant yeast overgrowth. Try increasing the yeast protocol http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm It can also mean phenol issues http://www.danasview.net/phenol.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 We use GABA and magnesium.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Will he drink a cup of chamomile tea? Listening to classical music for a few minutes while drinking his tea could help.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 We had this same problem when my son was around the age of 2 - 3 but I think it was yeast. He would wake up and sometimes just giggle for hours. I used GSE and it seemed to do the trick. sleeping problem-help My 11 yr old is having a hard time falling asleep when he is trying to fall asleep. he does not drink caffeine or anything like that.
