Yes it does happen. I found that with BD the interrupted sleep for kids is the problem. My daughter started taking melatonan age 11 and this helped her have a more solid sleep pattern. We have noticed that during a bad flare, her sleep becomes an issue again.

My 20 year old daughter was having trouble sleeping and I suggested melatonin. She was taking a healthy living class in college and found that there was some research suggesting that taking melatonin at a young age could decrease fertility as adults. It's probably something worth investigating. 😊

I should add that we tried deep breathing, meditation and sleepy time cup of tea before bed time but this only helped sometimes.

I've haven't been told that by any of my daughters specalists. But I would look in to it for sure.
