My dd is 9 and always exhausted.
She says she wakes in the middle of night and doesn't sleep again most of the time. She says it ranges from 2am - 5am. The poor love is so tired and I'm lost for reasons and how to help her sleep through.
It has been the last year on and off. I am thinking it will affect her health if it isn't helped.
She never sleeps in on these occasions and is always up ready to start work, even if very lethargic.
I have tried the same type of settling routine as she had when very little, but this isn't always possible as her bedtime changes considering what she has been doing that night.
Should I take her to gp, it doesn't really seem necessary to involve a doctor.
