[QUOTE="SRL, post: 75185, member: 701"] I know this sounds crazy but often when my kids were going through periods when they couldn't get to sleep, the solution was to put them to bed much earlier. It goes contrary to keep them up later so they'll be really tired but what that did to mine was get them so overtired they couldn't get themselves to sleep until they literally passed out. For instance for the kid whose typical bedtime was 8 I might try 7:30 or 7:15. Another suggestion is to look into the area of sensory integration and see if you can't find any help there. Weighted blankets, heavy quilts, body pillows, a lofty mummy sleeping bad, a beanbag chair for a pillow, a heating pad on the feet, sleeping on a cushy sofa instead of bed, etc are the kinds of things that can make HUGE differences for some kids.
