[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 505309, member: 1550"] I'm wondering how he was up until college. Since he got into college, his grades must have been ok even with ADD. It does not sound as if he is a tremendous behavior problem. Am I correct or wrong? Does he live at college and, if so, are you sure he isn't failing because he isn't going or isn't trying or is partying too much? If he was able to get the grades in high school, what do you feel has changed. Could it possibly be emotional, like being upset or rebellious because of the divorce? Could he maybe be dabbling in recreational drugs (nothing says no-motivation like pot). I think it is fairly typical teen to not sleep that much. They all need to sleep, but I'd say a good portion would rather stay awake and at his age it is pretty hard for you to enforce a bedtime. In fact, at his age, it is pretty much up to him to decide he will cooperate with treatment unless, like Susie suggested, you can get him to sign a consent form saying that you can share in his treatment. Basically, can you tell us more about your son so we can perhaps give more informed and better suggestions? Thanks! And welcome to the board, although I'm sorry you felt the need to find us. PS--I had mono at seventeen and I was exhausted for over a year afterward. Mono is NOT fun and it can take a long time to recover from all of it's effects. [/QUOTE]
