Thanks CarolJ I am sooo pleased the good weather has finally come along but didn't realise it helped us to produce Melatonin! Leon is, shall we say, 'choosy' as to when he is happy to play out in the garden, sometimes for hours other times he will stomp back inside after 5 minutes!! But I will definitely encourage him to stay out there longer and see if this helps with his sleep. Thanks again Joy

Hi, I am new to this forum and am hoping to hear of other peoples experiences with Melatonin similar to mine. My son Leon is 2y 7m and was diagnosed ASD at the end of March. He was prescribed Melatonin around a week ago as he has no pattern to his sleep whatsoever. Although he is now falling asleep around 30 mins after having the 2mg of Melatonin he is only sleeping for around 5 hours before waking at around 1am for approx 4 hours!!! Does anybody know whether it takes a while to work for a full nights sleep or if this is probably the best I can hope for??? Joy
