Jay wakes up way to early. Yesterday he was up at 3am and today at 3:30am. I am not sure how mich more I can take.

Aw you poor thing.. maybe he is having nightmares? or just troubles sleeping. Have you tried extra blankets on him at night.. Kai sleeps with a weighted blanket, it has HELPED greatly with his sleep.. :)
also maybe laying next to him and rubbing his back a bit will help get him back to sleep? Good luck hun, I hope you get some well needed rest...

Ditto the weight thing - Gus used to be like that, weight helped, and I also got a thick dark sheet and folded it over itself a few times and hung that over his window so there was no light coming in. Now he wakes more like between 5 and 7, which I can handle.

Does weighted blankets work with kids that do not like blankets? Jay usually does not like to be covered. Where do you get weighted blankets.

You can make your own or order them online....

My DS is also going through this waking up at 430-5am every morning he used to sleep in until 8-9am. I am going crazy hes so cranky all day.... I am here with you hope you get some more sleep soon.

I am trying melatonin. I have talked to local moms who have ASD kiddos. A lady that does a home program here with Jay suggested it. I talked to Jay's doctor about it and he said it was fine. Tonight is the first time he got it so we will see.

We are also going to try liquid melatonin with JR. Its what our neurologist reccomended along with a weighted blanket..
