Sleep issues

Tallulah

my 5 year old son has difficulty 'switching off' and going to sleep. (It's usually 10pm before he is asleep) Just wondering if anyone has any ideas which may help him settle and go to sleep please? (We tried music which worked for a week but now no longer has an effect.)

  • I have similar problems with my 5 year old who has Aspergers and possibly ADHD. He can't switch off at night so we have tried melatonin which really helps him settle, but he still wakes up between 4 & 5am everyday whatever time he goes to sleep and wakes his younger siblings up so everyone is exhausted! If anyone has any suggestions how to help him stay in bed longer I'd be eternally grateful as we are struggling to come up with anything new.
