( not) sleeping

<< < (2/2)

Another reason for anxiety and confusion over time of day, is vitamin B12 deficiency.   Low levels can be supplemented with pills or injections .  Topping up can’t do any harm, excess gets wee’d out.

Thanks for your replies which have helped me understand him better. We've actually made some progress with him sleeping in his new bed on the landing. The thing that seems to have made a difference is getting a little plug-in night light - like we had when the kids were babies -maybe that helps him feel less anxious in the night. But he's waking up very early, like 5am ( used to sleep til 7 no bother). So still a way to go. I will def try the B12, thank you.
