[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 349388, member: 1722"] Welcome Sleeplessof2... my daughter was (and still can be) much like your son. She needs a regular bedtime and has always (until this year) gone to bed earlier than her peers. Staying up later resulted in her waking up earlier. We used melatonin for a short period of about six weeks when she was four (if I remember correctly) when we wanted to reset her internal clock so she could fall asleep a little earlier. She still isn't the best sleeper (tossed and turned a lot last night) but she has improved overall since she was diagnosed with cough-variant asthma. Having her asthma well controlled has allowed her to get a better night's sleep. This also helps her ODD. :winks: Many kids can look like they have behaviors which should be attributed to various disorders such ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, etc when they are actually sleep deprived. I recommend verifying there is no physical cause such as enlarged adenoids or tonsils, allergies, asthma, etc. We thought Duckie didn't have asthma because she never once wheezed. Not Once. But she did and it wreaked havoc on her sleep and behavior. I'm not saying that this is every child's cause of ODD symptoms but I do feel it warrants ruling out. [/QUOTE]
