I am a single Mom and she has always slept with me. We had to live with my Grandma for 3 years in ONE room! Now, we have our own house and she has an AWESOME room. But, she REFUSES to sleep in there. How can I make her do it? Also, she doesn’t go to sleep at night. Is it safe to give her benadryl to help with the transition for a few nights anyway??

I have had dreams of the following day for 9 days straight now. Some of them have been simple things like my grandma showing me a cookbook or meeting someone new, and others have been gruesome and scary like one of my coworkers attempting to commit suicide. I know people have dreams that show the future, but I was just curious how long have these dreams consistently lasted?

My sons councler recommend trying melatonin at bedtime to see if that helps him sleep because he hasn’t ever slept through the night and has short REM cycles. Has anyone ever heard of this and/or tried it? I gave it to him 2 nights now but he also has a cold right now so I don’t know if that is also affecting the sleep so the pill isn’t helping or if he just needs to be on it for a certain amount of time before it can start to work. My 3 year old also doesn’t sleep through the night so I was going to ask about him taking it as well if it works for the 5 year old. BTW my mom, myself and even my grandma (my moms mom) don’t sleep well either, never have with really short REM cycles.
