[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 76502, member: 108"] Originally Posted By: Sara PA Or does he want to stay up late because he's in the age group for whom that's physiologically normal and thus sleeping past 8 AM so that he can get a full 10 hours of sleep is a perfectly logical thing to do. I don't think so, because left to himself he's asleep by 9:30. We've discovered that he functions a whole lot better, the more sleep he gets before midnight. He may get 9 hrs. after midnight, having stayed up at a friend's house, but he totally non-functional for a day or 2 after. Nevermind the behavior is atrocious. We've also discovered that if he keeps meals and sleeping close to a regular schedule, he functions better and his behavior is much better. His sleep especially tends to get very messed up, when he sleeps irregular hours too often. He's really not a night owl. :whew: Pam R. [/QUOTE]
