Cherry LanePraise God I am not crazy! My Granddaughter Mitzi has NEVER slept well at night. I assumed it was because we had her spoiled rotten (grandchild we are raising) She goes to bed around 8/9 and we lay down with her. We get back up and get ourselves prepared for the next day. But sure enough like clock work she will get up around11/12 and want us to come back to bed with her and ask for milk. We go to bed and she tosses and turns and thrashes so bad sometimes I escape to another bed. Around four she asks for yet another milk or water and her best sleep is from 4 until 8/8:30. On weekends she will sometimes take a two hour nap because she is so tired and does not usually sleep at day school. If she is grumpy (most always from lack of sleep) she is the wild child from hell. She tests us on everthing from food to toys to just being plain mean to get attention. She is an ONLY child for us and she still sleeps with us ( I know..... I know its bad) So I do believe it is meds with her and a very restless sleep pattern. Having her in bed with me helps because I don’t have to get out of bed and I can soothe her as needed....but some nights she is a bear to sleep with. But, I know she will be in her big kid bed soon and I will be the Grand Marshall of the hallway parade at night time! I just think the meds make them restless sleepers!
