The child falls asleep late, insomnia - what drugs to give

anonymously, about girl, 1 year

Hello. Her 16-year-old child has insomnia, or rather, falls asleep at 00:00 or later, does not sleep during the day. A year ago, we were at a neurologist's reception — healthy; a psychiatrist examination — healthy, thank God. But it is necessary that she fall asleep at 21h-22h. Soon exams, please advise what you can take to calm the child. Knowledge is excellent, probes for 5, but on examinations for excitement spoils everything. Psychologically, I "reinforced" tune it, nevertheless, I need to take medicine. Advise, doctor.

Hello! First of all, your child needs to follow the daily regimen and diet. Then she will definitely need physical exertion in any form, for example, morning exercises or an evening jog for 40 minutes. In the morning or 2 hours before bedtime you can take a contrast shower.

If you follow all this, she will not need any drugs. If you still want to help her with medication, then try the drug Phenibut 250mg 2 tablets. One morning and one 2 hours before bedtime.
