Its 4.21am Ds5 is still awake his meds (melatonin 40mg) have stopped working again , he has had 2 hours sleep since Sunday and yet is wide awake and full of beans Hmm

I'm taking him to the doctors after school as I make a point of sending him in even with no sleep as he isn't tired etc when he goes in and his teacher doesn't believe me when I tell her .

I'll be lucky to get my Doctor to up his dose or anything else as the dosage was only changed at the end of November .

Dd has suspected As/ADHD and is in a very strict bed time routine .
He just can't sleep and when I ask him why he just says 'It won't stop' or 'my head won't shut up' Sad

Is their a different medication we could try as this one just keeps stopping working which is a lot of stress for me & especially Ds .

On another note are their any other forms of Melatonin other than tablets as it ridiculously hard to get him to swallow 2 tablets not that he should have to at such a young age

He doesn't need noise to go to sleep in the sense that he needs to hear noise its more that he says his head won't shut up so he sometimes needs a distraction iyswim

Have you heard of listening therapy? Google Tomatis or I guess AIT in the UK

Take care
