I recently had to take my son to the doctor because of an infected eye. While I was there, we discussed his on going problems with sleep disturbances and his hyperactivity during the day. She suggested that I start him on 1mg of Melatonin about 20-30 minutes before bedtime. Well last night was the first night that he took one, I hope that every night is not like last night! He was constantly waking me up talking loudly about butterflies,toys,etc. Vivid dreams/nightmares is one of the side effects but that's also one of his problems. I'm wondering how many of you are giving your child Melatonin for sleep disturbances? Below is a link that tells more about it.
