Desperate times call for desperate measures.

So we are currently on night 7 with no sleep. Kirsty has always been a bad sleeper but since we came home from holidays she hasn't slept for more than 4 hours a night. Yesterday she went from 1.15am to nearly 11pm last night before she went off.
I am fit to be tied and I don't know how Brian is driving to work. We have tried everything from Phenergan to Melatonin, Lullaby milk to lavender and she just cannot sleep through the night.  It used to be an hour or two that she'd just lie there and chat to herself but now it's full on hyper mode. She jumps on the bed, turns on her light, pulls back the curtains and squeals at the top of her lungs.  I swear at that hour you'd feel like murdering her.  There is nothing worse than no sleep. I almost reversed into someone in Blackpool shopping centre I'm so distracted. It's relentless and it's every night now. Even when we do get her back to sleep Logan wakes between 5am and 6am. Torture!! And she's exhausted too. She's cranky and fed up and it's a long day for us all.

So I'm trying a magnesium oil from the Health shop. Apparently you rub a few drops on her temples and the back of her neck and it aids sleep.  I'm sceptical but I'll try anything at this stage. There was a few articles online about the benefits of the oil for kids with Autism too but i can't vouch for it yet.
It was €16.35 for the 100ml bottle so here's hoping it helps.  I'll keep ye posted.  🤞🤞🤞
