For over a year, I have felt that Sammie is not getting enough sleep at night nor during the day. I would say that this all began when she was teething and she has not corrected herself. I know that Dash went through this phase, but he would make it up in day time naps. As a matter of fact at the age that Sammie is currently at, Dash was still taking two naps a day. It wasn't until shortly after 3 that he went down to only 1 nap a day. So for the next week or two, we will be making some changes around the house to see if there are factors we can change and if no improvement, then a visit to the doctor.
I am mostly concerned about this issue because it has grown to a point that she can not focus, has mood swings, memory problems, can't make a decision, and NO attention span. The lack of sleep is sevearly affecting her day to day life and growing. This behavior leads me to be snapy and a very very frusterated Mom. This leads me to treat her in ways I dont like, she doesnt like, and Im sure that God doesnt like. I know that there is more to this than simply shes afraid of the dark. I am hoping to find answers soon so that I can be the mom I want to be to her but mostly so that she can grow and develop.
