She's been having "nightmares" (I don't believe she is having nightmares, I think this is just an excuse to stay awake and pester me) since before Christmas. I've done all the usual checking she is not worried about anything, asking what the nightmares are about, looking into what she is reading/watching, talking to the school etc.
We've changed routines. Earlier to bed, hot milk and story, wind down time with no tech. I've even tried walking her once a day. It's getting worse. It was 3:30am by the time she slept last night.
We have docs app next week, in the meantime I am desperate.
We have a "cast a magic spell" we found in a spellbook at nana's house. The spell will "summon an angel" to help her sleep and chase away any nightmares. The angel is her great, great, grandma. She's sprayed "nana's hanky" with some of nana's "lucky heather" perfume and put it under her pillow asking nana to come to her while she sleeps. Nana will smell the perfume and know she is needed and come and watch her while she sleeps.
She's ten. Monster spray stopped working years ago. This is just a more grown up version of monster spray, is it not?
Did I mention I was desperate. I need her to sleep tonight.
