My daughter had bad insomnia last night. She woke us all, crying at 2 AM about it. I don't know what to do. I finally let her lie in my spot on the bed and went to sleep on the futon.

I am not at my best at 2 AM. My night meds make me so drowsy, all I want is sleep. If I come up with an actual sentence to say, it comes out all blurred and herd to underdand (not sure which of the mes does this). At some point, she dis fall asleep; I woke at 5:30 AM and peeked in the bedroom, and she was asleep. She supposed to have a playdate with one of her cousins this morning, but I'm not sure about that now. The pediatrician says to try her on melatonin, and I want to try it, but my husband doesn't. Maybe he will want to try it now that the insomnia is worse (last time I consulted the pedi about it was about a year ago).
