Sleep Training - Houston,TX

Lack of sleep often makes sleep problems worse (it's true for kids and it's true for adults). The more sleep deprived you are the harder time you'll have getting to sleep. If your toddler has been keeping you all up at night, it may take a couple of weeks before you're all "back to normal" or whatever that means! Try going to bed earlier and having extended "wind-down" before sleeping to see if that helps (no TV or computers before bed... read a magazine or book or listen to some music). Though if you are pregnant, your tossing and turning, combined with his own tossing and turning may be exacerbating the situation. You might also try splitting up for a while too...(he can sleep on the couch, you are the one who's pregnant after all!)... until you're both better rested. I've done this with my spouse when one of us is sick, so the sick one doesn't keep the other up. Life is bad enough when one person is sleep deprived, let alone two! If it doesn't improve, you may want to have a sleep evaluation... maybe he has some previously undiagnosed problem (apnea or something) which is keeping him from getting a good- night's rest?

Melatonin might help. My husband sometimes has night shifts, and after he does his sleep gets all wonky. He will often try to sleep (nap) BEFORE his night shift, immediately after he gets home from a day shift. When he wants to do that and try to get some sleep early (I'm talking 3:00 or 4:00 pm until 8 pm) he will take melatonin as soon as he gets home.

Do you have a diffuser? Ever use Essential Oils? Peace and Calm (Young Living) in a diffuser in your bedroom or your child's room would help, or put it on the bottoms of feet and on shoulders, even take the cotton ball and put some on their pillows.

I would consider sending him for a sleep study, he might have sleep apnea. My husband is pretty fit (175 lbs) but he has sleep apnea. We were amazed by the test results, he was only getting a maximum of 40 minutes of un-interrupted sleep. I can't imagine functioning that!

research melatonin. The house-managers take it on their day offs so they can get back in their sleep patterns. It is a natural substance that is already in our bodies that helps regulate our sleep. Do some research and talk to a natural store clerk.

Have him get a sleep test done. Sounds like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can lead to other issues if not dealt with. Hope all are able to get some good sleep soon.
