[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 538820, member: 14829"] Recently, we've realized that The Boy (6--Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), low IQ, ADHD, etc) isn't sleeping at night. I thought it was due to his not being able to breathe, but he is 2 1/2 months post T/A and is still getting out of bed in the middle of the night. Until last night, I thought it was only to use the bathroom, etc. But, after observing him last night, I think he is up much more. And, it's having a terrible impact on his behavior. Typically, he gets 3 mg of melatonin before bed and that will help him sleep for a few hours. But, it wears off fast. Has anyone tried the Melatonin XR? I have friends with kids with sleep issues, and they were not impressed with the XR. We are off all medications until October (medications were not making a positive impact) when he has another evaluation, so I don't want to try a medication that is prescribed for anything other than sleep. Last night, we were out of Melatonin, and he slept 2.5 hrs...I need more sleep than that--Help :) [/QUOTE]
