My little won't let us sleep :( its pissing me off! She stays up and watches cartoons until the sun comes up or she passes out. Then we don't wake up till 11 12 ok.. Help I'm about to start taking something to just knock us out if she doesn't cut the crap

Taking something might not be a bad idea. I've done that before and it helped me. My mind never shuts up so it's really hard for me to sleep too.

can u ask her if she would like to get some time to watch her cartoons like a play time for an hour during the day or before sleep or so so that u can rest and your body can rest as well? Tell her and try to explain that u need the rest and so does she. It's hard sometimes to talk to the little people they don't get the logic like we do...hence some standing firm and also repeating the options might help.

If that doesn't work then the above mentioned comment will b the best bet..
I was thinking about u this am and i was wondering if u were okay, I am glad to see your post...
take care

It's been very rough since we been home and we all hate it here and my cousin was back but just left last week.... we kinda shut down but we are back now.. That's why I feel bad fussing with Sam (my little) because we have been thew a lot and she hasn't been able to be out much. I don't blame here for not wanting to sleep cause she doesn't feel safe she's afraid of monsters and that they going to hurt her.. Plus we been having nightmares so its rough.. But I'll try seemad and if it doesn't work then taking something it is... What did you take LoveAlice?

i really hope everything is sorted for all now - i take melatonin (its prescribed and is natural) but if shes afraid then you may need something stronger good luck

can u go with anything that can be Rx? do u see your doc? If yes ask for Ativan if that's something they will be willing to give u or even ask for Trazadone...that's helpful as well...Risperdol helps with anxiety and nitemares..and also calms the body down..
Melotonin never worked for me but for 3 days...I am not on any meds now..the doc last put me on Doxepin, it's an old drug and not many people use it...that would create a lingering effect and dry mouth almost half of the day, so I think if u are working and in a late shift that would work or else ignore that drug.
