Tears at Bedtime

For the last few nights Lauren has pretty much cried herself to sleep.  She says she can’t go to sleep – she tries to but it doesn’t work, even though she’s tired, and then she gets frustrated which makes it worse.  We’ve tried to help her (getting her to de-stress, going for walks, picturing fun things while she waits for sleep to overtake her) but she’s also in a very challenging mood at the moment, so not really receptive to help.  It’s distressing Claire a lot, and to be honest it’s not my favourite thing ever.
