Cariad Report post Posted July 15, 2008 Last night was awful, it's never good but he exceeded himself!! It was a late night last night they all got ot bed at 10.30pm as the girls had a school disco.. I did his usual routine, he didn't want a number two but sat on the loo for 30 minutes. Then he called non stop for anything and everything.. I finally got to bed at midnight, then the sniffing starts *snifffff sniff sniff* and clearing of the throat on volume number 11. I gave him his nasal spray and vicks and blew his nose and gave him a drink as he has hayfever. Then he decides to get up and *play* and stamps about which echo's throughout the house. I put him back to bed about 10 times, by now it's 4am. I had a cup of tea and went up again, then tried to sleep and ignore the sniffing. The Alarm goes off, I can't see as I have a migraine and a banging headache.. T is asleep and then gets up after 2 HOURS OF SLEEP feeling fine and then poos in his pull up which falls out in the dining room.. I'm sooooooooo worn out as he didn't settle last night or the night before. On another note who's children get hay fever and how can you stop it at night? I do the usual no window open, washing of hair etc but he's terrible! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zacsmum Report post Posted July 15, 2008 Hi, Life is difficult enough but when you dont get enough sleep every thing is ten times worse. I cant really complain about my sons sleeping pattern as he isnt to bad..just finds it hard to get to sleep..last couple nights he has got up in the night for silly things but soon goes back to bed..so i really feel for you not getting enough sleep.

Kazzen161 Report post Posted July 15, 2008 Does he not take medication for the hayfever? I take Cetirizine and it is brilliant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cariad Report post Posted July 15, 2008 Yes he does take medication for hayfever but in the day, so he can't take it at night. He has the nasal spray at night though. I'm crossing my fingers for a peaceful night, I can't believe I'm still going! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sooze2 Report post Posted July 15, 2008 <'> <'> <'> What a nightmare! I hope he has a better night tonight so you can have a good rest. I really don't know how they can manage on so little sleep. Could you give him piriton at night for the hayfever? I hear it makes them drowsy too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kinky j Report post Posted July 16, 2008 I don't know how much help this is but i read somewhere that if you regularly eat honey made (collected??) locally it reduces the symptoms of hayfever. something to do with getting the body used to the pollen from the local flowers i think . I know that's no use for this year but might be worth looking into so your not in the same position next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that's no use for this year but might be worth looking into so your not in the same position next year. Thats really interesting kinky, I'm sure I've read that somewhere too. Bikemad, T is still awake and calling me at almost midnight. I'd love some sleep in the next few days as it's the 6 weeks slog soon! Especially with his two sisters (8 and 10) Edited July 16, 2008 by Cariad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
