[QUOTE="howlongto18, post: 229491, member: 3129"] For us melatonin was a lifesaver! We started it when Carlos was three. Before that we'd usually go to bed exhausted while he was in his room singing... then he'd wake us in the morning. We weren't sure exactly how much sleep he was getting but we knew it wasn't much. We've given him the same dose of 3 mg for three years and his response hasn't changed a bit. As long as we are consistent about giving it to him he usually tires within about 30 minutes and as long as he has no nightmares, he usually sleeps through the night (or mostly so... we still have the occasional 4 am mornings sometimes). He never sleeps late, mind you, but he sleeps. I remember asking our doctor and he said it was safe to try but that it most likely wouldn't work. It must depend on the child because we swear by the stuff, and if we ever forget a dose (rare because we look forward to it:)) we know it because he's a sleepless jumping bean. [/QUOTE]
