[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 508295"] Stressed, my kids are SLEEPING by 9:30 every night and because they do school from home, I let them get up when they want. difficult child 2 is NEVER up before 9:00 and difficult child 1 is generally around 8:00. Just thought I'd give you a different perspective. Another thought that came to mind as I was reading this is the vicious mental cycle she's stuck in. She doesn't want to drop classes or class levels because she's ambitious and KNOWS she can do it but she is so far behind because of all this stuff she can't control which makes her angry and depressed which causes her to not be able to get up or function very well which makes you miss more school/school work and the cycle starts all over again. I can just imagine the EXTREME anxiety and depression she must be feeling half the time. Add to that whole drama the fact that more demands are being made on your time and you go along with it because you WANT to get better and get back to your normal life but you just can't do it. I have no clue if this is anywhere close to her reality but it made sense to me and made me feel very sorry for her. I really hope the sleep study shows something. But, if it doesn't maybe her bedtime and wake-up time need to be adjusted. Earlier bedtime and take that first class off the table so she can sleep longer. Getting the less homework into the IEP will also help a lot. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both! [/QUOTE]
