i should be asleep but dd2 is screeching again.....

[misdee]

has been for over 2 hours. she settles for 10mins or sao then lets out a piercing shreech. its horrible. she isnt fully awake, its like night terrors but worse. she is on vallergan and its not working.

still going.

Could the sedation be causing the bad dreams? I know this sounds odd, but she will be in a heavier level of sleep quicker than she would be normally if sedated. What is she like without the sedation?

The reason I suggest this is, on a personal level, I sometimes take Nytol myself and although it induces sleep I often have bad dreams when I take it.

she is worse without the vallergan.

Oh hun, its sounds awful. DS has night terrors, but we are going through a period of not having them. Thank goodness, they are so distressing arent they?

Did she settle eventually? How is she so far tonight?

Excuse my ignorance but is Vallergan to help with sleeping?

yes. she has ASD traist and has never slept well. tonight there have been a few stirrings, no screams yet. the worryig thing is that night terrors should last about 30mins or something, not 3 hours. she really can hurt herself during these times.

BTW Misdee did you leave a message on Ruth's phone?? I know she is on leave atm, but sometimes she listens to the messages and will phone you back,

no because my voice is awful atm and icant hear. hopefully will be clearer tomorrow so will do it then.
