Nurture: The Reality of Child's Sleep Problems |Real Families 

Not even 8 Minutes into the documentary, they literally say that some doctors thought he has narcolepsy...

My thoughts exactly I didn’t even start watching before I thought that. I’m also a medicated narcoleptic with cataplexy

@@SuperRuthie86 I have Narcolepsy with Cataplexy too. Where I live there are not many people who know what either are.

He definitely has narcolepsy with kataplexies, when he collapses while laughing, I don’t know why he don’t have a diagnosis by now. But I don’t know since when the boy is treated by a doctor, but I think hospitals should be able to diagnose that, that diagnose and treat sleep disorders, they probably must Dona sleep study and other tests. But it’s not that difficult to diagnose. But they can be happy if it’s narcolepsy and not ME CFS, because for narcolepsy there exists treatment for me CFS not. But anyhow even narcolepsy can sadly make a big impact on his life and can result in a permanent disability or even care level needed! And not everybody can even go to school with that illness or than later study or work, it sadly can mean in some cases that the patient is never able to work.

@@Catlover-jr4mj He does have a diagnosis, jeez watch the video before sending your comment, people.

Is their house haunted? I’d look into that tbh.

I thought the same thing. Kids like he is, not to mention any child with an illness, disorder, syndrome, etc... have a bit of their childhood taken away, don't they?

@@MimiMcWil 🙄

Thank you this is so kind of you to say!

A doctor in the making should Harry desire.

Yes, they should have shows like this to help parents and educate people instead of all the stupid meaningless reality shows.

We do, on PBS.

Thank you so much

My symptoms started in the womb literally. My mom was kept in hospital because I wouldn’t move and born 4 weeks late. I slept through most of my childhood and despite constant asking of doctors by mom I wasn’t diagnosed till I was in my 20s after falling asleep at the wheel. I was told it’s impossible to develop before the age of 5, not true in my opinion

My goodness! How awful for so many to end up with autoimmune disorders after the H1N1 vaccination. 😢 That’s terrifying!

@@SuperRuthie86 I have heard this by several other PWN, not the exact story but having symptoms from birth or infancy. I mean if you’re born with the gene then anything such as strep, the flu or anything can activate it.

Omfg I have a different condition, one called PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), that was a result of the H1N1 vaccine!!! PANS can cause sleep problems, but not narcolepsy. I have insomnia for example. Sometimes I can’t sleep and have gone over 24 hours without sleep, other times I only need a few hours and am very hyper throughout the day (not because I’m trying to keep myself up, but rather because I have way too much energy), and sometimes I get over 9 hours of sleep (sometimes as much as 12) and I’m still exhausted!!! Right now I’m dealing with not being able to sleep at night, and falling asleep in the wee hours of the morning, as well as feeling exhausted and like I want to nap during the day when I’m home. It’s like something clicks in me, when I’m on my way home, I want to sleep, and when I get home, I’m utterly exhausted. But if I’m not home, I’ll be up and totally fine. I don’t get it, my sleep cycle is bonkers... I just want answers. Is it something else? Or is it just my PANS? Is there something I can do about it? Or do I just have to wait for this issue to pass? I have tried going to bed earlier, reading before bed... The usual stuff people recommend. I even tried melatonin. None of it works. My body just can’t physically get to sleep until I am overtired and it wants to. It’s been several months... it is affecting my life, and is rather frustrating. If I do need to just let it pass, I hope it passes quickly. With PANS, you can have flare ups of certain issues and such. Things like eating too much or not being hungry, or not being able to sleep properly. It’s because there is inflammation in the brain. Things can go away within days, or they can last months or even years. It’s just a matter of time... Until the next problem... 🙃

@@SuperRuthie86 Doctors said my weekly migraines as a baby/young child wasn’t possible, until we found one that said it was. Doctors can be quite naive sometimes. But just because something doesn’t “usually” happen, doesn’t mean that it is impossible!!!

OKAY

Not da only one that hates types of men

So happy for you Tanya amazing well some you , you have all four of your beautiful children asleep all at the same time now you can have your own time to treat yourself and relax so happy for you well done you ❤

IKR^_^

Yes, both the girls cases were pretty much a direct result of parenting. . .

@@leece_6702 agree.

IKR totally....

It was definitely a behavioral issue. Hers as well as her folks.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 completely agree! I’ve been told that several times when I’ve worked out I have something by myself. I’m not a hypochondriac tho, I’m capable of discounting things I clearly don’t have. The things I said were diagnosed

@@lilacscentedfushias1852 I don’t about this extremely business but I sort of feel like it rare for an eight year old.

Definitely! I’m autistic, it used to be considered “non-existent” in girls, then “rare”, now undiagnosed or misdiagnosed…

Yep I know when I was diagnosed with dyspraxia at 13 it was “very rare in girls” but as an adult I see so many girls with it who just haven’t received a diagnosis and it’s the same now trying to get an ASD diagnosis

​@NovaLeeNation1687, tell me about it, seems a pretty stupid logic if you ask me, when last checked autism couldn't recognise what gender you are.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this it will get better try get a baby sitter for one night they will usually sleep for another person and you can get some sleep even for one night lots of love from England Sheffield

hahaha you're right! Jo would have taken him to one side and told him that he needs to support his wife!

Harry is 20 now

@@pearlkelly633722 now!

Thanks so much! Just finished a masters degree and living a pretty normal life. I’m very lucky, but there is much hope for others!

His dear little dog, was so concerned seeing Harry collapse like that - I hope they continue to be good friends!

Thank you so much!

@@Saltage You’re very welcome 😊

THAT MUST BE HORRIBLE FOR HER.... WE ALL NEED SOME GOOD SLEEP..I SUFFER FROM INSOMNIA MYSELF.. AND AFTER 10 YEARS OF SEEING DOTORS THEY FINALLY HAVE ME ON MED'S THAT REALLY HELP...THEY ARE SO AFRAID TO GIVE SOME MEDS BECAUSE SO MANY PPL ABUSE AND TAKE THEM INCORRECTLY..AS I SAY I WAITED 10 YEARS TO GET PROPER HELP...

@@debbiefinn6483 she's a recovering addict so they wont give her the meds that work because of their tendency to be addictive.

@@donnamurphy5698 was it the drugs that kept her awake as an adult because meth has that effect on the users?

@@honeybunch5765 not one that she used. She has had chronic insomnia since she was born.

@FlyingMonkies325 she has gone for 5 sleep studies but doesn't sleep so they have nothing to study/diagnose. After about 3 days the paranoia sets in then mania. The only medication that ever helped was Ambien cr. As a recovering addict, no one will prescribe it for her

My son has a weighted blanket too

I used to sleep walk and now I apparently answer phone calls in my sleep and respond with clear answers but wake up later to no memory of it 😂

Same 3:44am now. I just don't have a good pattern and night sleeping is the worst. It is most probably a psychological problem but I haven't ventured into it yet. I do not drink coffee or tea, I stay away from sweet stuff before bedtime but nothing helps and sleeping pills are just gross and often take hours before it kicks in, leaving me feel awful the next day.

Have you been to a sleep specialist about it?

It ain't boring to me. I get such vivid and interesting dreams.

Thank you

You assume this is a parenting problem when you are completely ignorant

Don’t blame parents. Most Doctors don’t have answers. My daughter suffered this as well. Her pediatrician, allergist, regular doctor were clueless. Never received answers. She’s 40, still suffers.

Now I’ve got to Laura, her husband is so unfair! He might say he can’t deal with it, but what if Laura said that too? But same thing, why is there no help from people in their close circle? I just noticed her husband isn’t at the appointment either. It seems to me he’s passing all of it off for Laura to deal with 😤

Harry at around 18 minutes is talking about what might cause his problem…so cute 💜 They all sound so much more plausible than anything conspiracy theorists say I was impressed to hear him say ‘evolved’ at his age! I’m sure he’s a very intelligent young man now, his brother too.

their little dog also looked so worried!

Hi there Katrina, no idea if you’ll see this or not but it’s Harry here. Thank you for your kind comment. I’m doing fantastic now and lucky to be living a near normal life thanks to the wonders of medication.

Hello Harry!! How great to hear from you! I am so happy to hear that your narcolepsy is under control - I was blown away by your personality as a child and wish you all the happiness life can bring. It was so lovely to receive your message!@@Saltage

She wasn't even sleeping genius. She was crying and screaming because she didn't want to stay in bed or go to sleep.

My younger sister used to sleep walk, she often walked in circles in our room. Me being only two years older thought it was hilarious.

SAME HERE..LACK OF SLEEP MAKES ME PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY SICK SOMETIMES...AND THE NIGHTS GO BY SOOOO SLOWLY...

Bad idea - it‘s dangerous for the trust and bonding if you ignore a childs needs!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Get real. You can’t ignore screaming.

@@telepathicmagicshop yes I can. I work with kids

It probably won’t work if you have narcolepsy.

Only 3:00 am?! Please... It’s 7:00 am for me!!!

@@keatondauffing1166 7 A M I have not sleeped in 5 days and its is now 5am

@@firegamerxoxo7713 not slept at all, or gotten very little sleep?

@@keatondauffing1166 About 2 hours in 6 days now

@@firegamerxoxo7713 that’s rough... turn off the electronics, read a book, and take some melatonin!!!

That's what we get for our free system . But you only get good treatment if you are wealthy in America . What about people that can't afford any health care , what is available to them ? it obviously can't be on the level that you are used to .

❤🙏🏻

NyQuil for a kid? No they clearly have a sleep delay and just need some melatonin an hour before bed. Idky people are so against doing things like this for their kid when everyone needs sleep or you can have a psychotic breakdown

I suspect most of them are like the three-year-old in this video.

She said something about not waking someone up, so perhaps she has younger siblings, and mum doesn't want them kept up. Mum is FAR too soft though, kid is just coming up with every excuse she can think of and mum is feeding into it

That's exactly what I was thinking, I think her brain is still too active all the time even at night, I'd seek a second opinion on the adhd! I've got adhd myself but I'm an adult now, it still causes insomnia difficulty concentrating, and hyperactivity at all times of the day or night, I also used to be very defiant and aggressive at times too but as I've aged thats got slightly better.

@@Nodeal757 yes I have one of you 😂 that’s why I could point it out so easy.... and she does the exact same thing when it’s me alone or with her dad here... some things they do grow out of... some things they don’t...

Can't say I've ever seen a screen or storm door here in the UK

he looked so cheesed off and disinterested.

it depends on what time they have to be at school at, she does need more than 3 hours a day

@@cloudedcolour5329 Well the professional had same idea as myself .

Yep I have it and am still struggling with it years later but putting in the work mine is much better than it was.

Haha yes that was me!
