My 10 year old has suddenly turned into an insomniac. He has always been a good sleeper - once he is in bed he says there and goes to sleep in his own. He has always been an earlier riser but we are use to that, but now he is staying awake for hours on end once he goes to bed.
There was an issue at school that seems to have sparked this but that has been resolved and he says there is nothing else bothering him. We have tried listening to quiet music, audio books, guided meditation and none seem to be working. Last night he went to bed at 8pm, read until 8:30 but did not go to sleep until 11pm and was up at 6am as normal.
My next course of action is to try no distractions - lights out, room dark and no music etc to see if that helps.
Does anyone else have any tips or experience?? At what point do you seek medical advice??
