[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 393809"] My boyfriend is one of those often-manic bipolars, and one of the very few guys I know that sleep less than I do. He worked 2nd or 3rd shift jobs mostly and that worked well for him, so he got lucky. Not unheard of for him to go with little to no sleep for days at a time either. Gifted people also tend to need less sleep than most as well, and you've mentioned she's quite bright. The TV on the couch thing might not be the worst idea, mine will get like that, too, worse if she's on the comp, but sometimes just 30 minutes in front of the TV instead will knock her right out (especially if it's all she's allowed to do). Being like this all her life I don't see her sleep changing much now (though it may when she hits teen years, most of them can sleep forevvvvvvver), best you might be able to do is drag her up at around the same time every day (even weekends) and hope it catches up with her.
