I'm looking for some info for a friend who hasn't really spent a lot of time on forums. Her 7 year old daughter has a sleeping disorder - it's not narcalepsy or Sleeping Beauty syndrome - it's called "Excessive Daytime Sleep Disorder". Basically her daughter needs more sleep than the average child. By the time she gets hom from school she is completely exhausted - she is asleep by 4pm and goes through to 7am - she also needs daytime naps to keep her functioning. My friend is finding that this has now started to have an effect on her daughter's development - socially and academically. She would like to find a forum where there are parents with children in a similar position but has come up empty handed so far. I wondered whether anyone out there has a child with similar issues or knowledge of a suitable forum. Thanks so much.
