Please I need advice and I may feel better if there are other parents who have kids that are around my Daughters age who aren't getting hardly any sleep! Firstly it started off with her being tired all the time and she was sleeping 10 - 11 hrs per night, then it switched for no reason to roughly 5 - 6hrs, then 4hrs, now its 2hrs or less per night!! This has progressed for months now. Been Drs loads, done blood tests to check for thyroid, Vit deficiency all normal. Now trying to get her referred to see someone and they wrote back saying she should see the school nurse and if the nurse says she should see someone then they will look into it!! Am worried and disappointed that they didn't even want to see her or monitor her. Dr intially said its just part of growing up. But for this long? She's getting tics which could be lack of sleep, rubbing her eyes alot cos they are bothering her, again through lack of sleep. Tired all the time, understandable! She never bothers us in the night even tho' I say if she can't she could come in. She's not anxious or worried about anything. Nothing happened to start this, except she had her tonsils and adenoids out about a month before so am even thinking its all the chemicals that may have caused this. Am at my wits ends. If she does get referred, it could be months! I have read loads online to try and find a result but not found nothing. Its all toddlers/babies with sleep issues. Only ones I can find around my daughters age have night terrors or can't sleep alone which isn't her. I would feel better if someone said they were having similar probs with theirs thats the same age roughly. Feel alone in this. Been up most of night researching with no luck. It just can't be good for her only 2hrs if that a night, even on a school night. She hardly watches tv, doesn't use any screen before bed. Lights are dim and she still has a bedtime story read to her so is all relaxed!! Cut down on sugar as well, not that she has much, but no difference. Please help!
