"We've been getting complaints from our aspergers/high functioning daughter's teacher that she doses off during 'study time'. It's becoming a real problem. She seems wide awake and full of energy at home though. What would you suggest?"

I swear by Melatonin. My son started with 1mg when he was around 8 yrs old, to help him get to sleep, then had to increase it to 2 mg about a year later. But he wasn't staying asleep. Thank God we found Melatonin XR ! This extended release helps him get to sleep and stay asleep. At age 14 now, he's back to just 1 mg of the XR, and he wakes up refreshed and happy.
My son has a regular bedtime routine between 8:30-9 where we mark off his calendar, say good night, after a warm shower. However, he will go into the bathroom and just sit there in the bathroom not doing anything for sometimes up to an hour after we tell him it is bedtime!
My son is sleeping his way through life... Ever since he was three he sleeps through school, he is now in high school and failing all his classes because he sleeps through them! ANY SUGESTIONS welcome.
To Doyle Family, i am experiencing the same problem with my 12 year old always falling to sleep at school. It is causing no end of problems. Now trying the Melatonin might ask aout the Melatonin XR??
