[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 186252, member: 1233"] OH boy did we fight this with Jessie. And husband fights it with thank you. At this point, on the nights thank you gets up (usually knee aching because he walks funny - totally different issue) he curls up on the couch on top of husband. If thank you comes in to me I get up, get him an advil (per the orthopedic specialist), read and snuggle in my bed with-him or take him back to his bed - thank you's choice. But when he goes to husband, husband will rub his knee for 15 seconds and go back tosleep - NOT giving him the medication the doctor told us to give him, and thank you jsut sits there. It makes for a bad day because his knee will hurt all day. He has the sensory stuff and really can't always tell you where it hurts, he just knows he is miserable. THAT is driving me nuts. But if I don't know, I can't help. husband has the CPAP and even with-o it won't wake up even if thank you is crying. JEss was my "family bed" child. Until about age 11 she preferred to sleep with someone. Once we got a king size bed and convinced her NOT to sleep sideways, it was fine. She started the night in her bed, but would end up in our bed by 11 pm. As long as we all got sleep it wasn't a huge deal. NOW we know that part of her sleep issues were Wiz threatening her or choking her in the middle of the night. Then it was panic attacks and PTSD from the abuse by Wiz. During that we just cuddled her, even gave her 1/2 a xanax at times - WITH permission from her pediatrician and psychiatrist!! maybe 10 or 11 times over 3 years did we give her xanax. It was that or the ER. Is there a compromise you can come up with to let everyone sleep? My husband had strong feelings about kids sleeping in their own beds - UNTIL he was a stay at home dad and responsible for getting up with them in the middle of the night. (this was mostly because I was working a lot of nights and not home.) Then he didn't really care WHERE they slept, as long as they slept. MAybe a mat or cot in yoru room, or if the bed is big enough, crawl in with you as long as they don't disturb you or anyone else in the house? While I was getting ready for my surgery and then recovering, Jessie was a wonder. If thank you had a nightmare or needed something and husband wouldn't wake up, Jessie would have him snuggle with her. Seh would check with me and then give him advil if he needed it and then cuddle him to sleep. A real sweetie about it. Even now they have "slumber parties" where he will go into her room in the evening and they read to each other or get the computer and watch a movie. I hope you can find some ideas here to help. And no, I don't want to be on the road with a trucker who is sleep deprived. That is a major concern int he trucking industry, from some conferences I organized. [/QUOTE]
