[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 474858, member: 13003"] The challenge is - there are so many possible causes for sleep problems. And a sleep study doesn't even begin to capture a fair portion of these... it does well at capturing known medical issues (sleep apnea, restless leg, low O, etc.) But yes... given that sleep deprivation is a known torture technique... what is life like for a kid who isn't getting the sleep they need?! Some of the other causes of sleep issues that we're aware of (others will know more...) include: - sensory issues (anything from noise to light to the kind of sheets on the bed or the smell of the pillow...) - brain chemical imbalances (multiple causes... multiple solutions... some don't really have solutions) - poor sleep habits... tough one, because sleep issues cause poor sleep habits, too... but sometimes, just enforcing good sleep habits helps. - extreme fatigue - if you are way too tired, it makes it difficult to get quality sleep when you do get sleep at all... hard to break the cycle...
