I have 3 kids, all grown up and healthy. They all slept perfectly well with fever, so, there's no such thing as a febrile insomniac kid. High fever has a potent detox element as you sweat out the toxic metabolites. I'm tired of parents who overprotect their children while harming them this way - there are so many studies - from overdrugging kids (thank God that most anti-cough drugs are now off the shelves), to forcing them to wear helmets, no go alone, etc.

Please stop believing your sample of 3 kids is representative of the entire population. You were lucky to have kids who sleep well and that's good for you, but that doesn't make other parents lazy or irresponsible.

You know what's even more tiring? Parents who judge other parents while not knowing anything about kids in general just because they happened to be lucky on one particular topic. You won't be lucky all the time though.

> to forcing them to wear helmets

I hope you won't regret saying that ever in your life, but being anti-helmet really is as idiotic as being an antivaxxer.
