Amazing Melatonin

Bricey has not slept well for most of his short life. Recently we have been giving him melatonin before he goes to bed. It is available by prescription and made up by a local pharmacy.

It has been amazing. He yawns (he never yawned before) and falls asleep in less than 10 minutes - while I read to him. It is a miracle.

We have seen a noticable change in his behaviour. He can focus on activities such as drawing or coloring in. He has been able to write his name -- a few weeks ago all he could do was a 'B'.

He still wakes during the night, but he is now having a much deeper sleep. Thanks to the magical melatonin!
