Nine year old struggling with going to sleep too late and waking up too early

[EvangelicalAboutButteredToast]

They operate on a pretty wired stage anyway. Tend to be a type A personality with school and hobbies. Like to do things correctly and prone to dysregulation when tired.

They play sport for two local teams and struggle to wind down afterwards. The routine can’t change unfortunately so I need them to try and wind down enough post match in the evening to play another match in the morning. Anyone have any ideas for natural remedies or regimes? I’m wondering about magnesium. Im going to go into a health shop in a minute and see if there’s anything with children in mind.

Try melatonin - consukt your GP.

Am having similar issues with my 8 year old who is refusing to close his eyes and won’t go to sleep till I come up and watch him when I go to bed.. I tried the Dr but he said he couldn’t offer anything to help with the sleep.. we have tried magnesium but hasn’t made any difference. Have you had any success since posting?
