Munchkin’s sleep disorder finally has a name
Of those suffering from lack of sleep, the survey found that problems falling asleep and staying asleep occur about equally (70 and 67% respectively). However, waking in the night is the most common sleep problem for women 35+, while for men 35+ the most common issue is falling asleep. The MidNite survey brought to light the prevalence of waking in the night a not only for women, but for people who have trouble sleeping in general; of those who have trouble sleeping 20+ nights a month, 80% report waking in the night. Other key survey findings included: Age affects the frequency of sleep issues. Americans over 34 experience sleep problems more frequently (average 13.2 nights/month) compared to their younger counterparts (aged 18-34) who experience sleep problems an average of 11.7 nights/month. People with sleep problems prefer over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids to prescription sleep aids.

Sleep disorders leave consumers searching for relief
Unfortunately, his sleep disorder also comes with a second diagnosis (on top of his autism) that we will have to have nailed down as well before we will finally see some results. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the one parent that complains that their infantnever slept through the night, waking more frequently than you ever thought could be humanly possible, living on so little sleep that you thought they, (and you), would die of exhaustion. That was this mom right here. It was never uncommon for Munchkin to wake frequently then be completely done sleeping by three or four in the morning. After out latest 36-hour stint of exhaustive high energy with zero sleep, I hauled him into the doctor, again, to have a chat with his developmental pediatrician about what could possibly be wrong with my baby. He’s only *almost* three! Every book that I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot of them, all claim that he should have at least 12-15 hours of sleep every single 24-hour period.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has taken a closer look at sleep, and its effect on overall health, since the mid 1990s. Its 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey including questions about sleep patterns and found that 35.3% of adults reported seven hours or less of sleep during a typical 24-hour period and 48% reported snoring. Nearly 40% reported unintentionally falling asleep during the day at least once in the preceding month, and 4.7% reported nodding off or falling asleep while driving at least once in the preceding month. Sleeping pills To help with sleep consumers for decades have turned to prescription and over-the-counter sleeping aids. According to the Mayo Clinic , over-the-counter sleep aids can be effective for an occasional sleepless night. There are a few caveats, however.

Get Some Sleep: ADHD, sleep disorders often entwined
January 11, 2011 at 16:17 | Report abuse | Reply Bill My 4 year old daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD. The issue is not bed times or enforcement thereof. My daughter goes to bed at 8PM each night. She, however, cannot stay asleep throughout the night or go back to sleep once she wakes. It is not particularly, helpful or relevent for you to suggest that a greater assertion of parental authority is the answer to ADHD when you actually have no experience parenting a child with ADHD.
