[QUOTE="jcox, post: 316200, member: 6583"] Just wondering if anyone else's child has a hard time with the time changing? E always has a hard time adjusting. He usually gets his medications at 5:45 am and 5:45 pm. Tonight by the time 5 came around he was getting really irritable and tired so we gave him his medications early. Just wondering if that was the right thing to do? Should we try to get him back on his old schedule? Lithium works best for him when given 12 hours apart. Should I try to hold off about 5-10 minutes each night so gradually we will get him back on schedule? Should I give him his medications at 5 and 5? (Hate to do that because I want to try to get him to sleep as late as he will without messing up his routine more.) Should I just completely hold off until 5:45 the new time tomorrow? What do ya'll think would work best? He has always been affected by the time change. I hate this Autumn time change the most because instead of getting up by 5:30-6:00 he is up at 4:30 or 5. Hooray! (That was a sarcastic hooray LOL). [/QUOTE]
