Sleep problems with anxious six year old

Hi all,

I’ve had ongoing sleep problems with my 6 year old namely going to sleep and staying asleep. At times nights are so bad and disrupted it’s like having a newborn again!
I have tried everything all the old tricks but nothing works. Asked the dr today about melatonin (last resort here!) but he was reluctant to give it and referred DD to CAMHS. Which no doubt will be months waiting and still no further progress. Anybody else had similar problems with their children’s sleep and/or had melatonin subscribed etc? It’s effecting her school as she’s not concentrating and my partner is exhausted and has to work.TIA
