It may simply be allergies. He will be fine all day then go to lay down and cough cough cough. And it is not the room because he does it where ever he goes to sleep. Did it the whole time at the beach we were at last month.

My son is just a awful sleeper and this just adds to the issue. He has had ear tubes put in, has night terrors, the coughs, itchy eyes, etc... that all keep him up.

My daughter is going to be born at the end of July and folks are like enjoy the sleepless nights again, I tell them it is no big deal I have not slept through the night in 3 years.

I've been lucky and both of my kids where pretty much sleeping through the night before age 1. My 4 yr old just last night around 8pm told my wife she was ready to go to bed and my older daughter would do the same. I have allot of respect for parents that have to deal with these issue and I thank god I got lucky.

Yes it does suck, so much so it has effected my marriage. We are all so tired and irritable that we turn on each other.

We bought him this bed since he out grew his crib then toddler bed:



He loved it! Slept great in it for 3 nights. On the 4th night his night terrors began and he started "sleep walking". Well he sleeped walked right off the edge of it busting up his nose and lip right to the ER at 1am.

Now he has this bed.





We will see how long until he gets hurt on this one.


With all that said I love him to death and honestly even with his sleep issues we are very lucky. I am sure there are plenty of folks at say St. Jude's that would gladly be in my shoes.
