![]() ![]() No caffeine, no video games, no heavy meals, melatonin, benedryl, prescription sleep meds, prescription anxiety meds, stimulant medications to keep him up during the day. So for 2 years I have been working with his pediatrician and a psychiatrist. ![]() The problem has been increasingly worse over 2 years. He just snapped out of it eventually and felt fine. Well they drug tested him and he was clean. He feel asleep so hard that he was unresponsive at school and they called an ambulance to take him to the ER because they thought he had a drug overdose. But then he has weeks at school where he does great and I have teachers telling me he is wonderful. Other times he can't sleep more than 3-4 hours before getting up on his own. I get grunts and yes or no as a reply if any reply at all. If I try to talk to him in this state, it is like talking to a caveman. When I try to force him awake even after 12-14 hours of sleep he sometimes becomes very angry. He has an extremely erratic sleep pattern. I am going to try to explain but I am emotionally overwhelmed right now so I can't organize info very well. I have looked up DSPS information on the web and a lot of it does not quite match up with his sleep problems. This is a really big deal to me and I want to do what is best. I took him to a Neurologist/Sleep specialist that diagnosed him as having DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) - but I am going this Wednesday to another specialist because I don't want to start any sort of treatment w/o a second opinion. I guess I am seeking advice/support from anyone seasoned in dealing with issues such as this. ![]()
