Can you believe.....

@samueltyler2 no I haven’t does that work?

@MiraRoss melatonin gives me horrible NIGHT TERRORS! Please talk to your pediatrician before you try it. I used to read my Bible (any book will do) in my eldests room outloud until he fell asleep. I didn't pay him any attention but I made sure he stayed in bed and my voice and presence comforted him.

@samueltyler2 yes melatonin causes nightmares.

@assemblingaknob don’t what her to have nightmares

@MiraRoss absolutely speak to your pediatrician. There a pediatric sleep specialists that you might be able to see. Although there are some reports of vivid dreams associated with melatonin, I have suggested its use in hundreds of children, I was a pediatrician, and a toxicologist, and never had a situation in which a child had to have it stopped. Nightmares are far more common when people take Benadryl, or the generic version. At age 3 she is probably not using a computer before bed, but the blue light given off by monitors interferes with the natural production of melatonin by the body, yes the body produces melatonin itself, cyclically to aid in falling asleep. We used in when our grandkids had trouble sleeping. I don't know if it helped them, but it also never caused problems.

@samueltyler2 she’s two and there’s no tv or anything like that after tea so plenty of time to relax before bed

@MiraRoss tea is somewhat of a stimulant, it has almost as much caffeine as coffee.

@samueltyler2 don’t mean tea as in the drink

@MiraRoss oh, okay, I took it literally. If you can get to a sleep specialist there really may be ways to help.

@samueltyler2 with what’s going on unless it’s an emergency i don’t go out to see people

@MiraRoss I would think that you could do this virtually.
