[QUOTE="totoro, post: 75353, member: 3155"] I agree with SRL and everyone else... K and N both have sleep issues, N's are worse now... K's medications help her sleep. I have found... Yoga, no TV before bed. A bath and then calm reading... to a weighted blanket, sound machine, K like the tropical sounds, with the lullaby playing in the background. Dark shades... I also give her a backrub when she is restless. When K was very manic I gave her, her leapster handheld video game... it is educational and she had so much going on in her head that she could not stop it. She would lie in the dark and play the game until she became sleepy, eventually falling asleep. We stick to a schedule also. I don't schedule any evening activities... not with K so unstable, for BiPolar (BP) kids eating, sleep and a schedule is vital... I really see a difference. It is working with N also... we also give them Calms Forte... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
