Yesterday she had the sundowning symptoms. She was agitated, angry and wanted to leave. I tried to ask her where she wanted to go and what happened to make her upset, since I was not home at the time.
Now it is 7:30 in the morning and she is still not sleeping. What can I do?
Don't expect miracles. It's not a sleeping pill that will knock someone out in a few minutes. When I've tried it over the years, it does absolutely nothing for me. But that's probably because I produce enough naturally. Adding more doesn't help.
If your LO has difficulty sleeping occasionally, you can give Benadryl 25mg at bedtime. If your LO has difficulty sleeping most nights, get a doctor appointment to get prescribed sleeping medication(s).
I've heard of many people having luck with CBD gummies. They don't have THC so they are legal in every state and can be found in many health food stores and online.
Unless her health prohibits it, a small glass of wine might help right now.
