My four year old foster daughter has special needs, but is not yet diagnosed with anything. She has an MRI under sedation scheduled next week, and the sleep-deprivation EEG tomorrow morning.
Right now, she is sleeping twelve hours a night and it is like pulling teeth to get her out of bed in the morning. She is beginning to transition back home, where there is a four week old newborn so I doubt she is getting enough rest as it is.
Does anyone have experience keeping a young child awake through the night? The doctor says she can only have 3-4 hours of sleep prior to the test.
Any advice or ideas would be appreciated!
