[quote=Anonymous]The backstory is far too long and complicated to explain, but my 13yr old sister(I am 41) is living with us and will be for the foreseeable fortune. I also have two sons of my own 11 and 8. She gets a long well with my boys for the most part, and for what she’s been through, is a pretty well adjusted kid. However she does not sleep. As you can see it’s 2am now and she just came in to ask if she could get up and watch some tv because she can’t sleep. I told her no, to try and read instead, but even still she won’t fall asleep until 4am or sometimes not at all. She wakes me up almost every night for something, she has even asked to take a walk in the middle of the night. We have tried melatonin and it only works about 20% of the time. Usually after 3 days of horrible sleep it will finally catch up with her and she will crash. This just isn’t sustainable, it almost seems as if she is wanting to do things to keep herself from falling asleep. She has to be exhausted, I know I am! Any suggestions? [/quote]
