Progress tracking — outcome metrics
| Measure | Baseline | Follow-up | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleep onset latency (min) | 92 | 17 | −82% |
| Night wakings / night | 3.4 | 0.6 | −82% |
| Parent-rated morning mood (1–10) | 3.5 | 8.2 | +4.7 |
Parent observations
- “He falls asleep on his own now — that has never been possible.”
- “He wakes up calm instead of frantic.”
Outcome summary
Sleep architecture normalized, melatonin discontinued, and daytime regulation improved as a downstream effect of restored sleep.
