Hi, I have a 13yr old girl who shares a room with her 2 young sisters. She is having trouble sleeping at the moment. She is in a bunkbed above her 2 sisters and fidgits all night. This disturbs me in the next room who also has problems sleeping because Im such a light sleeper, but it also sometimes disturbing her sisters. We havent got a spare room and anyway she wont sleep on her own. Has anyone got any ideas? we are both mardy in the mornings cos we are tired and dont want to get up? She has aspergers ↓

My son has PDD NOS and he is 6. If we let him watch TV at night we found that his is a restless sleeper. We always thought that his has to wriggle himself to sleep too. We not only cut out TV but we also gave him an extra pillow to hug at night and that seems to help him sleep better. Not sure if this helps but good luck! ↑
