    Bless you @jly it's hard enough getting a 5yr old to bed i know with my own Grand children.
    My nephew, who's 19 now had the same problems with sleep, i know what your saying about the sedative. 
    Have you tried the normal stuff like reading to her or the light theropy, my nephew had different coloured lights, like lava lamps to watch when he was in his bed to help him relax. Just an idea but look under categories and see what you can find i'm sure there's lots of mom's in the same boat.

    Welcome to the community @jly :) Thank you for posting about this, as it's something that many parents go through. 

    Waiting times for assessments can unfortunately be really long, and there's not always much support available for while you wait.

    I'm wondering whether you might find it helpful to access one of our family services? One of our friendly advisers might be able to support you. 

    Is your daughter in school?
