Posted by gabs30 on May 14, 2009 at 04:59:00:I have a 7 yr old girl that bless her heart is wearing me out. I would say since about 5 she has had issues with sleeping...going to bed late, "scared" so she can sleep with me. ETC. But now I think its going to affect her school. She says she is tired at school and a few times took naps on her desk. Teacher has not said anything to me but my daughter has. No naps normally. She goes and goes and goes during days at home and almost fights sleep. Then when its time for bed she will lay down and tell me she cannot sleep and nothing has worked...I have given her benedryl but again it worked for a little bit but no effect now. She doesn't keep me up but it worries me with her wondering around the house or just staying up...last night I heard stuff in the house went around and living room light was on she at that time was back in bed but was wide awake...that was at 10:30pm. What can cause this? She also says sometimes she wakes up in the night...can this be her tonsils?? She has almost kissing tonsils...just didn't know with this? and What should I do?? Thank you very much...worried mom!!!
