[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 47950, member: 2423"] Hi Jamie, my son has bad "Sunday Night Syndrome." In fact, "Monday Night Syndrome" after a three-day weekend is even worse. Last night he told me he didn't want to go to sleep because then "school would be here faster." He wasn't wrong! We do what all the "experts" tell you not to do -- allow difficult child 1 to watch TV while lying on the couch in our family room, or take our portable DVD player into his bedroom to watch a movie. It seems to get his mind off of school enough to fall asleep. If I try to talk to him about his anxiety or engage with him in any way, it seems to make things worse. So we "break the rules" and allow "screen time" while resting quietly. Have you asked about trying Melatonin? We've never tried it, but I know a lot of difficult children it seems to help. [/QUOTE]
