[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 547759"] You might want to consider a sleep study to find out why she's waking in the middle of the night in the first place. You need to fix the why before you worry about the how. Her waking is the problem, not where she sleeps or who sleeps with her. You might also want to ask the psychiatrist about something to help her sleep until she is able to on her own. We tried melatonin and while it helped difficult child 1 get to sleep, we ran into the same problem with waking in the middle of the night. The melatonin didn't last long enough and when he woke up, his mind wouldn't shut down enough for him to get back to sleep. The psychiatric hospital put him on 1 mg of Tenex an hour before bed and he's been sleeping through the night since Halloween. Tenex isn't habit forming and it's such a low dose that I'm not concerned about him being on it. It's done wonders for him. [/QUOTE]
