Valerian? • No caffeine within 8 hours of bedtime • Music, calm, orderly, quiet • NO TV IN BEDROOM • NO vigorous exercise right before bed • GET MORE versus intentional sleep reduction/deprivation • Aim for earlier; enough to awaken refreshed

  22. Extras • Supplements • Massage • Acupuncture • Electrotherapy

  23. Melatonin • Hormone, not herb • Helpful for sleep onset insomnia in ADHD (Bendz, LM. Ann Pharmacother, 2010) • Can use for sleep EEG or brainstem audiometry(Ashrafi MR, Eur J PaediatrNeurol, 2010; Schmidt CM. Neuropediatrics, 2007) • Dose: 0.3 – 3mg 1-2 hours before bed • Products: ConsumerLab.com

  24. Sedative herbs: valerian, chamomile, hops, lemon balm, passion flower) • Valerian: yes 400 mg; smells bad, but works (Morin CM, Sleep, 2005; Koetter U. Phytother Res, 2007; Bent S. Am J Med, 2006) • Chamomile tea; little data, generally safe, allergies possible • Hops: sleep pillow and teas; sometimes combined with valerian • Lemon balm; tea • Passionflower: tea Meolie AL. J Clin Sleep Med, 2005

  25. Amino Acids: TRYP, SAM-E • Acute tryptophan depletion leads to depression • Dietary L-tryp -> 5-HTP -> serotonin -> melatonin • Meta-analysis: 5-HTP and L-tryp better than placebo for depression (Shaw K, Cochrane. 2002) • DB Xover trial in infants; cereal supplemented with 225 mgtryp improved sleep • Food sources – dairy, eggs, poultry, soy, nuts; WHEY • Cubero J. NutrNeurosci, 2009 • SAM-E Produced from ATP and methionine • Meta-analysis:SAMe significantly improves depression, comparable to antidepressant medications ; effects on SLEEP are indirect via mood • (http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epcsums/samesum.htm)

  26. Massage • Decreases itch, pain, anxiety, depression; and improves sleep (Field T, multiple years and pubs) • Can be done by parents • Previously provided by nurses • Found in many nurseries • Licensing for professionals varies by state

  27. Acupuncture • Tiny needles, needles not always necessary (pressure, massage, laser, magnets, cupping) • Acceptable for kids with proper demo (model on parents ) • Meta-analysis of 46 trials: significant benefit (Cao H. JACM, 2009)

  28. 2009 meta-analysis Acupuncture • 46 RCTs with 3811 patients • Meta-analyses showed a beneficial effect of acup compared with no treatment (p = 0.02; 4 trials) and real compared with sham acup(p = 0.04; 2 trials) on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. • Acup superior to medications for total sleep duration increased for >3 hours (p < 0.0001). • Acupuncture plus medications better than med alone on total sleep duration (p < 0.0001). • Acup + herbs better than herbs alone (p = 0.01). • There were no serious adverse effects related to acupuncture treatment in these trials.

  29. Electrosleep (Cranio-electrotherapy stimulation) • TENS-like device applied to earlobes or occiput bilaterally • Invented in USSR 1949 • Most studies in Russia and France • Can help with insomnia, even anxiety, depression or those going thru drug withdrawal (Philip P. Biol Psych, 1991; Gomez E, Br J Psychiatry, 1979;Templer DI. Can Psychiatry Assoc J, 1975; Carwright RD. J NervMentDis, 1975) • No RCTs in children • No serious adverse effects reported

  30. SMART Action plans • Specific, • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Time-specific)

  31. Pick a specific strategy • More exercise early in day • Better nutrition • Judicious use of supplements • Healthier environment • Stress management; biofeedback; journal; meditation • Massage, psychotherapy, acupuncture or other professional help

  32. Identify a small, achievable step • Rome was not built in a day; habits are not changed overnight: BABY STEPS. • For exercise, go from sedentary, to 5 minute walks with the dog 5 days a week. • Be specific (with or without an MP3 player; with or without a friend; regardless of weather?; distance vs. time)

  33. How important is this to you? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Not Very Why did you pick that number and not a lower number? (e.g. a 7 instead of a 5) Asking this question helps the patient/family providetheir own rationalefor why this is important. They talk themselves into it!

  34. How confident are you that you can do this for one month? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Not Very If they pick an 8 or higher (pretty confident), proceed with next step of making a chart and planning rewards and follow-up. If they pick a number less than 8, “What would it take for you to go from the number you picked to a higher number?” Begin to explore their ambivalence…. It’s OK to be ambivalent about change!

  35. Identify Pros and Cons

  36. Plan celebrations/rewards • Pick a tangible rewardand timing (will it be offered after week 1, 2, 3, 4?) • Samples: new walking shoes; stickers; choice of movie. • Support the patient’s choices. • Emphasize the importance of the reward/celebration. If the patient says they expect “good” behavior, suggest they consider celebrating it (instead of rewarding it).

  37. Sample behavior diary (OK to copy)

  38. SUMMARY • Focus on fundamentals: food (watch caffeine, alcohol, xs meals; bedtime snack?);fitness; friendship with self (manage stress and emotional states); friendship with others; healthy environment • Routines at bedtime; no TV in bedroom • Supplements: melatonin, valerian/hops; lavender aromas; chamomile, lemon balm tea • Massage, acupuncture, electrosleep • Make a SMART plan consistent with family values and goals; follow-up
