on the 5th of December 2023 my 5 years old daughter was diagnosed with autism, dont have a problem with it at all as I ( Mother) have a brother who is has the same but server but our daugter is mild. but i am having trouble with her sleeping routine since she started sleeping in her own roon at the age of 3 she still constantly comes in our bed, some of the time to go back to sleep some times to wake me up for the past 2 years she would wake me up she so full of energy where i have none by the time the day is almost over, even when putting her to bed i can settle her down, i dont know what to do i dont want put her on any mediations i just need a a better way of getting her to have a full night sleep so i can get mine. i am struggling at the moment due not having any energy, i hate not being able to do anything with her because i am so tired and all i want to do is sleep but by the time ive done everything i need to do and go to bed to sleep i only get a few hours before she wakes up again,,

Can I just ask why you don't want her having Melatonin @Motherlove18? First is it has been life changing. DD didn't sleep for years and the exhaustion was exacerbating her anxiety.
