Hi Everyone,
Just out of curiousity....have any of you experienced the following with your children?
My son 10yrs old (just had birthday) started taking naps. I won't worry if maybe it happened one time, but he has been taking naps more now that ever. He never used to take a nap. I am worried. He isn't sick. He had been severly constipated a couple of days ago, but I have been giving him fiber supplements.
If anyone can share .... please do so.
Is he having a growth spurt?My son hardly never takes naps, except when he's having a growth spurt, or during the summer, when he's been playing in the sun and water. Summer dehdration can make kids sleepy too. If your guy is constipated, could mean he's dehydrated. You might try a sport drink like Gaterade. My 81-year-old mom was told to drink it too, lightly, during the summer to keep her electrolytes in balance, and keep "things" running smoothly, and to help her energy level. Water will only get you so far.
I am ADD and needs to sleep during the day,i get tired easily and nods off as well,i have problems sleeping at night
in the other hand my son who is ADHD never takes naps unless he had a very bad night.
I have noticed my 9 year old daughter "nodding off" in her chair quite a bit this summer. However, she seems to have hit a growth spurt since school ended, and has been eating a lot more. She is also out of her routine, staying up late, and then getting up early to play. I think that the sun and heat also wear her out..IMac38944.6923958333
