[QUOTE="ciounoi, post: 558431, member: 12364"] Hi there, I have had sleep issues through much of my life. It could definitely be causing your daughter's meltdowns. If I do not have enough sleep, I get what I call "emotion volcanoes". I could be just sitting on the couch doing nothing and all of a sudden I will have a very strong negative emotion come over me... anger, depression, guilt, etc. I'm an adult and it's very hard for me to not burst into tears or snap at someone when I feel so incredibly angry/depressed/guilty! My sleep issues are caused by sleep apnea, which is a condition where breathing stops while you sleep and your brain is "woken up" so you can breath again. You could get her checked out for that... go through your general practitioner and ask to have a sleep study done, if possible. If you do this, however, keep in mind that most people believe you need to be overweight to have sleep apnea. Most doctors (not sleep doctors) I have seen are shocked that I have sleep apnea since I'm a normal size... I have a very small windpipe that causes my apnea. Might be worth checking out! [/QUOTE]
