[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 616998, member: 15796"] I tend to sleep a lot when I am depressed. When my daughter was using meth, she would sleep for days - only getting up to eat and then go right back to bed again. I remember wanting to take her to a sleep study because I was so concerned. I took her to the doctor for tests because I thought no one could possibly be this tired. There MUST be something wrong. She also looked dirty and didn't care about her looks anymore - looking back I can't believe we didn't see the signs. :( Yup, she was up all night while we were sleeping, sneaking out to do drugs with her friends and then coming back home and sleeping. Even after we put an alarm on the house, she would still get out. (She has finally told me how!) Your son is 20 years old. There isn't much you can do to control him. What you CAN do is set up the ground rules for your home if he is going to live there. To still live at home after the age of 18 is a priviledge, not a right. I gave my daughter the ultimatum of rehab or leaving our home. She chose to leave our home and spent the next few years as a couch surfing, drugging loser. Then she got pregnant and went to jail - it has been a whole new world since. She has really, really turned her life around and she is a wonderful mother. She is living back at home with us but she knows our rules and she GETS it now. I wouldn't even allow her to be a cigarette smoker because I will not live with that smell.
