No problem...yes there is a continuous serotonin/melatonin conversion cycle that occurs in the brain which regulates our sleepfulness/wakefulness patterns..that is why it is common for depressed people to wake up early and not be able to get back to sleep..the melatonin in their brain has all been converted back to seratonin..b/c they have a shortage of seratonin..if she has breathing problems that interfere with her ability to get a restful nights sleep this could be leading to her conversion cycle being disrupted..

> Nicky - Thanks for those thoughts. I didn't realize there was a serotonin/melatonin conversion happening to allow us to sleep. She has allergies and therefore some some breathing problems at night. I have been wondering if she has some sort of sleep deprivation problem that contributes to some of her behaviors. Thank you for your insight, every bit of knowledge I get really helps create a better picture :-)
