Bedtime hysterics

Mmmm, not sure what is causing this but for the last two nights Laura has got really hysterical when she goes to bed.

We have had bedtime problems from time to time over the years but nothing for quite a while now. Previously she would refuse to get into bed without me being in the room but we rarely had tears just naughtiness. Now she actually wants me in the bed with her and gets really hysterical, lots of real tears and very forceful crying.

I'm not sure what is causing it but suspect it's seizure related in some way as she is also very clingy, jerky and noise sensitive in the evenings. Yesterday I added a daytime dose of clobazam to see if that helped but it didn't. Today I'll try it at lunchtime rather than in the morning as it's only 2.5mg and so is quite a small dose. Not sure what else to try except maybe melatonin although that may cause her to wake early which could cause further problems.
