[quote=Anonymous]Op back here. We’ve had so much improvement. Still going with 1/2 melatonin. One small change that I hadn’t done before is give it to them with dinner so it has time to enter the bloodstream. We dropped family time. Dh is fine to miss out on what I get all day. He has weekends and occasional days off, and at least now he isn’t spending the end of our family time feeling super frustrated with them. W/o the melatonin, I don’t think we could have put them to bed earlier. I can just imagine they would all stay up in their rooms playing. I know because several times we tried early times, we found they stayed up LATER and were constantly asking for things (which becomes a game for them). Last night, all asleep by 9, including the littlest asleep by 8:30. What is also helping is the early sunsets.... right now it’s 6:30 and I see the light dimming quickly. Before, it felt like high noon all the way until 8pm.[/quote]
