Carl and I had a huge fight this morning because, as usual, he came upstairs at 5:30 to “sleep”. This time was particularly bad because he screamed out and kept thrashing while still asleep. I, however, was wide awake since he came upstairs! In anger, I said, “STOP! I can’t sleep! I’m tired!” He immediately got out of bed, got a shower and left for our daughter’s condo without me...(which was fine because after 4 months/7days a week I’m worn out!) BUT, even after *I* apologized to soothe this situation, he lashed out at me...”I can’t sleep, so I come up to get comfort and you push me away. I don’t deserve this!”
So, I thought of you and your posts on similar sleep issues. Did you find anything to help? He is taking Melatonin, a pill his neuro suggested for anxiety, and he has gone back to Rock Steady boxing...
If you have any suggestions, I could use the help. I need uninterrupted sleep once in awhile, you know?
