have you considered that the ear infections have increased fluids in sinus and cavities? Could it be inhibiting her oxygen intake (like sleep apnea) while lying down? Honestly, I'd have a doc look at her to rule out other complications; I thought blue lips and fingernails indicated inadequate oxygen saturation. Not trying to jump the gun, but sometimes the doc can't answer right away, and your question isn't related to child behavioural health.
