Sounds like your doing a great job with your son! Nicole was waking every hour at night screaming, totally disoriented. After we put her on Super Nu Thera Vitamin Supplements she sleeps with very little problem. I also think at least one episode of sleeplessness was caused from eating eggs and maybe corn. She is on a gluten/casien free diet and does much better. These children's digestive systems seem to be very sensitive.
: Our son Aaron goes through phases of partying at night. Sometimes he will wake shortly after midnight and keep going right up until the following evening!
: I keep my response low key i.e. I just go in check his nappy and the room temperature and leave. He then tantrums and or plays by himself until dawn. However I seldom get much sleep during this time! Part of my concern is because not only do I feel it more challenging for me to find my 3 e's the following day but that it would be easier for Aaron also if he had the benefit of a good nights sleep.
: We have looked into diet (although there might be something we are missing) and also, as Aaron puts it he has been very "busy" during the daytime.
: I asked Aaron if he knew why he wakes at night and after a initial "don't know" he later told me it was 'cos he is "busier". I think what he means is 'cos he has been so motivated and determind lately he perhaps finds it difficult to "switch off". I'm not complaining..the fact that he can give us verbal clues is such a huge step but would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.
