My Child Won't Sleep

Imagine if your 6 year old child would not go to bed until 2 am and then only slept for a few hours. What if your 8 year old kept randomly napping throughout the day and was then awake half the night? Or if your 3 year old sleepwalked every night and prevented you from ever getting more than 3 hours rest yourself?

My Child Won't Sleep follows three families whose lives are falling apart because of their children's sleep problems. With access to one of the few centres in the country that specialize in children's sleep problems, the film follows sleep specialist Dr Cathy Hill as she works to diagnose and treat the children other doctors and health professionals have not been able to help.

We see the families struggle to implement radical techniques to try to cure their children's problems. And in the case of 8 year old Harry, we witness Dr Cathy Hill's search to discover what is making him randomly fall asleep 5 times a day and whether he is suffering from narcolepsy, a rare medical condition in children, that will require a lifetime of medication to manage.
