: Everett is 4 and has always been the worst sleeper of any kid I have known! Even as an infant he slept lightly and woke often. He was nearly 2 before he slept through the night. Now that hes older every night has been a constant battle to get him to stay in bed and go to sleep. He would get up over and over, wanting a drink or a book or to watch tv. Often he would still be awake at 2am.
: Finally, a friend of mine told me her son was the same way and that his dr put him on melatonin. I started giving Everett 1mg of melatonin before bed and for the first time in his life, HE SLEEPS! Its been about a month now and I cannot believe it! He goes to bed, doesnt fuss or fight, snuggles under the covers and goes to sleep! And, better yet, he sleeps all night long!
: All of you that know me, know that Everetts sleep habits have had me on the verge of nervous breakdown for ages! It's been hard for me to get a full nights sleep when hes waking up constantly. Now my only disturbances are the baby waking now and again and dh looking for attention :)
: Oooh I am so happy I had to share!
