My daughter is 7 1/2 and was diagnosed with Aspergers early on. She never, ever, ever, ever slept well. If she got 6 hours of continuous sleep, we thought we won the lottery. Her lack of sleep only made things worse throughout the day, and made everyone exhausted. We didnt want to ask the Dr for any type of sleep aid, we didnt want to go down that road of trying different medications and her being groggy the next day. We did try melatonin but she would still wake up 2-3 hours later and not be able to go back to sleep for a couple hours.
Magnesium comes in many forms and different benefits, I as an adult have been taking Magnesium Oxide for years. the tried out Glycinate. Once i tried it had to find one in a children's dose. My Spectrum Heroes to the rescue!
MSH is the only place that makes Magnesium Glycinate for kids that I will ever buy it from, no one else makes it like they do. It is literally life changing.
