I really need advice in regard to my child’s sleep or lack of the need to do such thing lately 
They have always gone to sleep pretty well but then woke up afew times during night either sleep walking and crying or just stood at the side of my bed. They have always been an early riser, anywhere between 4&6am. But just lately they can not drop off to sleep and when they do finally fall asleep they are waking after afew hours and then can’t get off again until 5-6am then having to get up at 7am. We are all exhausted as you can imagine. But our routine has never changed, everything is still the same just the child is older. We have many things to try help including a weighted blanket which used to do the trick and very dim lights amongst other things. Naturally I reached out to the gp in the hope that we could get referred to the paediatrician for more help/advice possibly medication. But I was totally disheartened to receive a message…telling me to read what I already know due to having an other child on the spectrum. I am desperate for sleep and desperate to help my child sleep. Any advice from people who have been through the lack of sleep would be much appreciated!
