I am looking at doing some backpacking around Australia for about 6 – 9 months…

I don’t know anything about what type of sleeping bag to go for…I have done some research and theres always a 7c or 9c number associated with each sleeping bag model…

Is this code for what climate the sleeping bag is designed for? If so what type should I be looking for?

Is there something that can help me sleep better?




Lately I haven’t been able to fall asleep until 2 or 3 in the morning. Sometimes I’ll wake up early at like 8 and still not be able to fall asleep until that time. I try not to eat sugar late. Is there a pill or something that can help me sleep better?

Anyone have an autistic child with sleep problems?




My son is 4 and is autistic. He has a horrible sleeping pattern. I know it is common in these kids to have sleep problems. Does anyone know what I can do to help him sleep? I work full time and go to school and I am exhausted. I feel like I still have a newborn some days. Please answer only if you are a professional or have children with this disorder. Thanks a bunch in advance for any ideas?

My real problem is staying asleep, My seroquel knocks me out but I wake up 4 or 5 times a night to eat and drink, its been going on for 2 years straight and nothing has helped I’ve tried all the above abien, lunesta, sonata, melatonin, lunesta, and seroquel XL
I already take prozac, would a more sedating one like paxil help

How to Take Liquid Sleep Aid?




The sleep aid is Melatonin, and the instructions just say, "Take 1 dropper a day at bedtime only". Does that mean to just put it on my tongue or mix it in something?

Thank you for helping!
Selene A, what the hell does that mean?

My dad is diabetic, has high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and has been hospitalized for two strokes. Lately, when I got to visit him, he breaths heavily- while awake- and then produces a loud snoring sound that cause some of his body to tremble as well. It sounds just like a snore but he is not asleep.

I’ve heard that kids need around 7-8 hours of sleep, and that there is a period during those sleeping hours that is most effective in their growth spurt and when their height grows the most per se. What hours are most effective when it comes to growth in height for children? Any source provided will be much appreciated since it would be more reliable than a guess. Thanks in advance. 10 points for best answer!

K.. I have this friend who has 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. They share a room, and they won’t go to bed at night. Sometimes they keep her up until after 1 in the morning. I told her to just put them in their room and don’t let them out, but her oldest will lay and bang on the door so much that he has almost broke it. He has other behavior problems, and doesn’t listen to anything she says. The youngest is just following his brother. But she also will wake up with them in her bed. She’s almost divorced, and she has full custody of the kids, so she is the only one that is taking care of them. She’s at her wits end with their sleeping habits. She is pretty much ready to give up and just let them sleep where they fall. I don’t know how to tell her that it’s all about her parenting style, but how do I say that without making her feel like I’m accusing her of being a "bad mother"? I don’t know what to tell her to help. Any suggestions?
k.. a little more background on this. They lived with us for almost 3 months. The kids bedtime routine is this: she puts them in the living room, puts on a movie, then she sits on the computer until the movie is over and then she tries to put them in bed. Of course they won’t stay with that kind of bedtime routine. I’ve tried to tell her this, but she doesn’t get it. My kids are so easy to put to bed, but we have a set bedtime, and we tell them that bedtime is coming so they are aware of it. Yes, there are nights when they cry and won’t go to sleep for a while, but even my oldest doesn’t get up anymore and try to come out of her room. Her oldest is very hard to deal with. He hits her, bites her, kicks her and laughs at her when she spanks him. He won’t listen and he screams this high pitched scream when ever he doesn’t get what he wants. I had a very hard time with him here, and the only person he would listen to was my hubby, only because he wasn’t that sweet when he talked to him.
