Following a sleep study for my difficult child 2 with a renowned doctor, we were advised that she only went into REM 7% of the time. As we were unwilling to put her on medications, the doctor suggested melatonin (3g) an hour before her normal bedtime.
It worked like a charm, she was sleepy in about a 1/2 hour and went to bed without any fuss (what a change from the previous 8 yrs). After 1.5 yrs she is just now starting to build up a resistance. I will be changing the dose to 6g to see if is still works for her.
Quite honestly, it has been a miracle as she has NEVER had an easy time falling asleep unless she has been out running (literally) all day.
