[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 492192, member: 1514"] Insomnia is a killer. I have awful insomnia and it really doesnt go away no matter what I do. medications help somewhat if I can catch them at their ideal window for falling asleep but sometimes I miss that window and they wont work. You might want to talk to her doctor about trialing either a very low dose of seroquel or some thing like trazadone for sleep. For seroquel, a dose of as low as 25 mgs can be very sedating. Even if I can manage to get to sleep at a reasonable hour, I definitely need a full 8 to 9 hours of sleep. I simply cannot run on less. Cant. My eyes will close on their own and I cant even pay attention to something that I desperately want to see. I cannot imagine trying to sit in a classroom and learn something in that state. I would be asleep on the desk. I think I would try to get her day to start a bit later in the day and have it written into an IEP or 504 if she doesnt have an IEP. Get a doctor's note. [/QUOTE]
