[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 76767, member: 108"] Having odd work times makes keeping sleep regular very difficult. My guess regarding breakfast is it should be complete and within an hour of waking from a minimum of 4 hrs. sleep. Lunch would be the meal eaten at work. Dinner would be eaten when you get home. If you have errands, perhaps a snack with protein right after work could tide you until dinner. For us a regular sleep schedule means quiet time (no TV/vids, computer, music, physical activity) after 7 PM. In bed to read or draw by 8:30 and hopefully asleep by 9:30. Waking is between 7:00 - 8:00 AM most days. Breakfast must be eaten within 1 hr. of his feet hitting the floor. Breakfast must include enough protein, a complex carb and possibly fruit or veg. DS is much the same, staying up at friends' houses. Here they must be in bed by 9:30 and no more noise/talking after 10:30. Because of this, DS doesn't like to have other kids sleep over either. Because I also have sleep issues and am a very light sleeper, this is as lenient as I'm willing to be, regarding sleepovers. Also because I do not want to put up with his resulting behaviors from lack of sleep. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
