[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 37742, member: 3211"] This was a long, exhaustive issue in our house, too. difficult child would go to sleep finally about 10 p.m. and then I would awaken during the night - 2 or 3 a.m. and check and he'd be up putting a puzzle together in the middle of his room. He'd look up and say "hi mom" like it was the middle of the afternoon. I was exhausted, as I would then stay up until he was able to go back to sleep. I have to agree with the others here who have said it was a workable medication that did the trick with us. difficult child is also on seroquel and it is the only thing that helped. He goes to bed and is allowed to read for 30 minutes - and he is allowed to have music on quietly until he goes to sleep. When I go to bed, I turn everything off. There are still nights when I get up and his night light is turned on and I know he has awakened, but gone back to sleep, but he is older now and has more control over the night time urge to get up and do something - and he only wakes up like that a couple of nights a month. Good luck - hope you find something that works for you soon. You cannot function when you are sleep deprived - we all need our beauty sleep so we can deal with what each day dishes out. [/QUOTE]
