[QUOTE="totoro, post: 19673, member: 3155"] Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland I believe and helps with sleep. Someone else posted that it could cause an increase in night terrors... We use it but I decreased the amount to 1.5 mg for difficult child I take 3mg about 1/2 hour before bed. It helps... It took about 1 week or so for it to really work for us. Could "March Madness" be kicking in??? I have read it can start in February... my difficult child 1 has been climbing the walls and waking earlier... her cycling has increased as well. I blame it on her medications as well as the " March Madness" She is delerious by evening also... so tired but can't sit still. We have found yoga really helps, and I read this on another forum that a mother had her daughter do headstands when she got wound up, we started this against the wall, and it really works, it helps calm her and she loves the way it feels. We do the forward and the backward headstands, sometimes I will hold her up when she is tired. This also falls under some of the sensory stuff, we do compression and pillows on top of her, really helps calm her at night, wieghted blanket as well. Good luck [/QUOTE]
