Trying To Help My Daughter With Her Delayed Sleep Phase (4am-12pm)
by Julie
(England)
delayed sleep disorder. A couple of weeks ago we went through a sleep programme designed to get her back on course with her sleeping. This seemed to work really well and we have now got back to going to bed at 11-11.30pm and getting up at 7.30am and then sitting in front of a light box.
The new regime lasted for about 2 days and now she is not sleeping again until 4am (although taking 5 (yes 5) 3mg Melatonin tablets before going to bed. She is obviously finding it very hard to get up at 7.30am and we appear to be starting the whole nightmare again. She seems to be able to get up every other day at around 7.30-8.00am but not every day. We are in the summer holidays at the moment so not too bad but when she gets back to school this obviously will not work.
I don't know if this is a blip or the programme hasn't worked. Has anyone had similar experiences or any advice please?

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:
Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.
If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
