Question: How can I wake some one fully that has inherited deep sleep disorder? ( Or is a beddwetter)?My son is a bedwetter. He is 13 and we need to change this. I have read alot and searched the internet for answers. The most logical thing Ive found is inherited deep sleep disorder. There are places that will help you change the sleep paterns. I have most of the info I need to do my own program with him but I cant get him to wake up In the middle of the night. He can get up and carry on a conversation with me but he never remembers it in the morning, and from what Ive read that means he was not awake. He was in a sleep walking stage. We cant afford one of these programs right now as they cost $400- a couple thousand dollars. We need your help
Answer: Have you tried a bed alarm?Have you tried limiting fluids prior to bedtime?Have you had a urinalysis and an ultrasound to make sure that there is nothing physically wrong with the plumbing?Have you considered chiropractic treatment and DHA supplements?Where mom and/or dad bedwetters and how long did it last with them?Have you looked for a sleep clinic in your area?Here is my son's story -Our stuggle with enuresisKeithen turned 7 years old in February and still wets the bed at night and sometimes has accidents during the day. Here is a little about our journey with enuresis.When my son turned 5 he was bedwetting every night and having at least one, usually more, accidents each day. Our family doctor did a urinalysis to make sure he didn't have any infections or anything and that came back normal. He referred us to a urologist. The urologist put him on Ditropan. He also ordered an u/s. I filled the perscription and waited a bit, unsure if I wanted to give it to him. We decided to wait on the u/s, feeling pretty sure that this was not physical but instead a discipline one. (Didn't care if he was wet...wouldn't stop what he was doing to go...engrossed in play...we saw a pattern to when accidents happened...etc.)
