So my 8 year old dd has lost all ability to sleep this week and it is really stressing her out. It is taking her ages to get to sleep and then she I waking up in the night claiming that she hasn’t slept and freaking out about where time has gone and then not being able to get back to sleep. I am so tired so she must be exhausted!
She has never found sleep that easy and has a blocked nose every night. Olbas oil and an occasional dose of rescue remedy used to be enough to help her but these have stopped working this week. I have tried telling her that she can read and that it doesn’t matter if she sleeps as long as she relaxes but it isn’t helping. She is currently crying and worrying that I will fall asleep before her (I have promised I wont).
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to help her?
