[quote=Anonymous]My now 13 year old was a terrible sleeper. Didn’t sleep through the night once until 2, couldn’t fall asleep alone, refused to nap after 2, bedtime temper tantrum thrower, could cry for hours without crying himself to sleep. Things began to get better at about 6 or 7 with bed time - he stopped fighting it, and the routine got more peaceful, even if it was long. In 5th grade he developed insomnia and we had to do CBT to address it. By that time he was taking himself to bed at bedtime because he wanted to sleep, and the crying came because he couldn’t fall asleep and he’d panic. CBT helped. Now, at 13, he goes to bed at 9:20 every night and sleeps like a log till 6:30. When he occasionally has insomnia he has me help him with his CBT routine, but that is quite rare now.[/quote]
