Sleep issues

Kerry

Hi

my son is 5 and was a perfect sleeper till he was 3, he is now on circadin to help with sleep but is waking earlier and earlier, he was up from 3:30am today and once he's up he's up, just wondered if anyone has any ideas, it's been suggested that I try a sleep clinic, has anyone ever used one? would be good to hear any suggestions :)

  • @Kerry, is it Circadin you are giving your son or a quick-release one such as Biomelatonin.  Circadin is the slow-release one and always works for my daughter, unless she is highly anxious about something on the odd occasion.

    @donnzmail, we have Circadin for my 8yo and have no problems with it.  She used to have Biomelatonin which got her to sleep but didn't keep her asleep and we changed to Circadin and it sorted the problem.  A nice side-effect is that once she's had it she's much more amenable to cuddles before bed.
