He says he can't get to sleep so uses my iPod for guided sleep meditations which gets him off successfully. Then after about 2 hours ALWAYS wakes again and comes in (torture as we have just gone into deep sleep...) Needs head stroked to get off again then is fine all night. It could be worse but every night?! We have tried Rescue remedy drops, Badger balm on forehead, Dr Stuarts herb tea, milky drink, hot water bottle, less light in the bedroom, no light in the bedroom, reward of 20 mins more computer time each night he doesn't disturb us....no change. Started before SATS and now the habit has stuck tho stress now gone. I have considered taking away computer/Wiu time but seems cruel, would rather save that for serious rudeness punishment (occasionally required). Other ideas welcome.
