Answer #1

Well it may be sleep paralysis, which is keeping her from sleeping, but I have sleep paralysis but I can sleep so I suggest you and your mom to see a health doctor to figure it out or maybe I can look it up to see what it is.

Answer #2

Melatonin. A natural product of the body. It is available in health food stores and most places that sell vitamins.

Simply a Rose to brighten your day, And maybe lessen the cares in your way; And also, too, to help you to know, That in knowing you, many others grow!

Answer #3

Is she taking any pills for it?
