DS was always great sleeper and been perfectly content to go to sleep in the dark. Then a year ago aged 10 he sees a horrible online game at a friends house - 5 Nights at Freddy's - and his sleep's been unsettled since. Weve tried leaving door open, reading settling bedtime stories, nighlight, low level lamp but problem rumbling on. With the light, he insists on it being so bright (or turning on main light) that he does go to sleep but has poor quality sleep so gets very tired & irritable. So light hasnt been a solution, it leaves him shattered. He can talk quite rationally about it during the day - that he knows hes safe in the house & he doesnt really think anything bad will happen - but each bedtime its same story. The only way he'll go to sleep 'normally' is if someone else sleeps in the room - weve resisted this because didnt want it turning into a habit. Weve tried the doc who said its fairly common but huge wait to see a psych. He loves his bedroom so its not the room itself he doesnt like. Anyone come out the other side?
