Sleep issues

Zoezlk

Hi all

Any advice for broken sleep? My daughter is 5 and on 6ml of melatonin, it doesn't seem to be working any longer... she takes 3-5 hours to go to sleep and wakes the while night through, we end up going downstairs anywhere between 12 midnight and 3.30AM - she kicks off massively to go downstairs and I usually take her as she would wake the rest of the house if I didn't

 Is there any other option than melatonin for a 5 year old? 

Appreciate your help

  • Have you tried music or stories to listen to? Could you have headphones for use when others are asleep? 

    My son used to wake early too when he was younger so he had quiet things to do for a while when he woke up. He also had a dim coloured light for a while which helped.

    Now he is older he has a fan because he likes his room cool. When he turns it on the noise helps him fall asleep.
