Because the sign on the wall behind Bella in the scene when she steps out of the emergency room shows the way to the "sleep disorder center" and she thinks it's funny considering Forks Community Hospital is very small and obviously does not have a Sleep Disorder Clinic within the actual hospital.

Because of course, this wasn't filmed IN Forks Community Hospital but some other place….

My brother was like this. He just naturally never needed as much sleep as other kids. Even today, he's 24, he works 2 full time jobs because he gets bored while the rest of the world sleeps.
The up side is that he will have made his first million $$ by the time he is 30. Seriously.
My parents had to take turns staying up with him. Until he was 6, then they left him to watch television by himself. He was banned from the kitchen and wasn't allowed to make more noise that the television set. I suggest you do something like that.
If you are a single parent, or your partner can't stay up with her, set firm limits on where she can go while everyone is sleeping and how much noise she can make. Start now and be absolutely firm.
If possible you can even sleep in your bed with her watching TV in there with some toys if she wants them. Lock her in with you and enjoy some much needed sleep while being certain she is safe.
Good Luck
PS. My mother was offered sedatives, but didn't give them because she didn't think it was healthy long term or fair to him. It is just his natural chemistry after all.

There are many things to consider here. First, this is a small study…too small to say there is a signficant difference in prevalence of sleep disorders in those with head injury versus those have not.

Second, is it doesn't make any attempt to explain the nature of the sleep disorder. Is is directly attributable to the head injury itself, or could it be due to medication or emotional stress of the injury? Many people undergoing rehabiliation have sleep related issues such as those who've undergone chemotherapy and raidation, those who've had joint replacement surgery, etc.

At best, this study suggests there is an association between sleep disorders and TBI, but it does not discuss a causal relationship…furthermore, a larger study is needed to draw more firm consclusions.
