Christian has struggled with sleep his ENTIRE life. On average, he gets *maybe* 6 hours per night. It has been an ongoing worry to me and Brian because we know his body needs more rest. The other odd thing that weve noticed over the years is that Christian never gets tired and cranky. Most kids are awake and then slowly get tired and grumpy and then crash. With Christian, hes awake one minute and asleep the next, no in between. After he finally falls asleep, if anything wakes him up {whether its at midnight or 4am} he is up for the rest of the day. He never has slept soundly. Since we started this kid on {proper} seizure meds, he has never slept better in his whole life. Like. A. Rock. The EEG showed that he was having subclinical seizures basically all night long. No wonder hes never slept well?! Every night since weve been home, Brian and I stare at him and say, I cant believe hes asleep?! Even when we wake him up at midnight, he falls right back to sleep!
