My 2 year old has had enormous amounts of sleeping issues, along with night time wakings and screaming fits in the night. Recently our pediatrician told us to try melatonin before bed each night to help with her to shut the body down and prep for sleep. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

What is a good age to begin scheduled naps?

My son is currently 4 1/2 months old. I don’t have a nap schedule now because he is at the baby sitters during the week days and she just lets him fall asleep when ever he wants. He does have good sleep schedule for night time but when is a good time to begin schedule daytime naps?

I’ve got a horribly abnormal sleeping pattern. I sleep during the day, but only because when I fall asleep at night time, I get horrible nightmares. Is there a reason the nightmares happen at night and not during the day? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the nightmares so I can get my life back on a normal track?

INSOMNIA!! Help??

I have had insomnia for the last several weeks now. I saw a dr. and he put me on a prescription sleep aid which only seemed to work for 4 hours or so and then I was wide awake again. I did not like the way it made me feel either. Kind of aggitated and not feeling right. So, I have melatonin. What is the most of this I can take at night time before I go to bed??? I have 3mg tablets. This won’t harm me will it?? I want sleep. I don’t drink caffeine or eat chocolate. Does ANYONE have ANY ideas to help me fall asleep and stay asleep?? I don’t really have much faith in my dr. after this medicine he put me on. It was horrible the way it made me feel. Someone please HELP me!!

I take Lutera birth control once daily. I’ve been on it for a while now. I have trouble sleeping at night. Like right now it’s 1:38am. And I want to sleep, but I can’t.
I am wondering if I can take CVS night time sleep aid with this birth control because I’m kind of a hypochondriac.
Please help me out

How long does your newborn nap and for how long?




I have a 11 week old daughter who is breastfed and she’s not napping very well during the day. Sometimes I can get a 30 minute nap, sometimes 1 hour. Sometimes she wakes up after 5 minutes. If she doesn’t nap at all I find it very difficult to get her down at night time.

I’m just wondering what other moms are experiencing. How long does your newborn nap and for how long?

How can I avoid getting sleepy at siesta time?




Even when I sleep 9 hours every night, I still get drowsy around noontime. So maybe the problem is how to move that daytime drowsiness to night time…
No I don’t have sleep apnea or other severe disorders.
