Rod, if your son has no allergy to or distaste for the stuff, a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter in the middle of the night is a great soporific. Follow the peanut butter gulp with a leisurely leaf through a pleasant, unchallenging book, and within 15 minutes, the eyes will be very heavy. Guaranteed to work, or the money you paid for this bit of advice shall be refunded.

I don't know if it's legal in the U.S., but our pediatrician recommended melatonin for our reluctant sleeper. It's available wherever they sell health foods in Canada. Our 12 year old now goes to sleep at 11:00 p.m. instead of 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. Debra

Glen Campbell put my youngest to sleep during her insomnia moments. By the time he got to Phoenix, she was out.
