Reply To: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night

Thank you everyone for your good advice. The reason I am hesitating to use Melatonin is because I am worrie that he will become addicted to it and as others said he will never learn to fall asleep naturally. I really don’t like the idea of giving a little child a pill every night. It feels so unnatural.

He does not eat a lot of sugary foods and the room temperature is fine. I don’t think that sitting inside or outside his room will help because he is a good child and usually does try very hard for about half an hour to fall asleep and only then does he come out.

Although the problem now is that he has it in his head already that he can’t fall asleep so sometimes he doesnt want to go to bed
