I just want to correct the website I mentioned in my previous post it should be www.bipolarchild.com

: Sleep disturbances and frequent
: nightmares, can be an early
: indicator of bipolar. It has to do
: with the regulatory system being out
: of whack.
:
: My 16 year old who we are in process
: of having tested for VCFS has
: bipolar, and he never had problems
: with being scared at nighttime until
: he was about 8 then he started
: having bad nightmares. Over the
: course of several years we saw other
: symptoms start to occur.
:
: Sleep disturbances, such as not
: needing as much sleep, increased
: irritability, more hyperactive, or
: the other extreme more lethargic.
:
: Go to www.bipolar.com and read the
: article on sleep and nightmares.
:
: I'm not saying your child has
: bipolar, but I would continue to
: monitor for other signs.
:
: My 9 year old daughter is having
: problems this year with the same
: thing, and now I'm starting to worry
: if we are starting to see early
: signs with her...

: I have a 9 year old son who has
: sleep problems. He has been a bad
: sleeper since about 2 years but over
: the last year it has got much much
: worse. He now refuses to sleep in
: his own room and will only sleep
: with me. He will only get into bed
: if I am with him and wakes approx 10
: times a night to check! He says he
: has bad dreams, feels ill, etc but I
: think these are just excuses. He is
: a fairly anxious child. Nobody
: seems to want to give help with this
: problem ie doctors, psychologists,
: etc. They say to get a good routine
: but have been trying to establish a
: good routine for last 5 years!!!!!
: Any ideas......... My son no longer
: has sleepovers at friends houses or
: grandparents or cousins. The
: problem is now huge

: Does anyone have sleep problems with
: their child? My eight-year old with
: VCFS is constantly waking up at
: night with nightmares. Overall
: she's a fairly anxious child, and
: within the last year she's mentioned
: two experiences where she says she's
: heard voices. (NOT what I want to
: hear given the prevalence of
: Schitzophrenia (sp??) with these
: kids. Anyway, I'm just wondering
: what others have run into.
: Thanks
