[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 484715, member: 11016"] I am not saying this is what is going on with your difficult child, but I have a stepson who is 15 and he sleeps A LOT. 12-16 hours if we let him. I think teenagers just want/need more sleep. My 13 yr old step daughter is the same way. Even when we wake them they act like they are still soooo tired. I know when I sleep too much I feel worse when I wake. My Carson, though. He often falls asleep in class. And he gets about 10-11 hours of sleep a night. Often complains he is "so tired". I ask him "did you sleep good last night?" and he will often say "no". I ask if he woke a lot in the night or had "bad" dreams. His answer is always no. Then again, sometimes he has an awful time going to sleep. Over last weekend, all in one night, he got up, ate three pieces of cake, colored a picture of Yoda and tried to watch a movie in the kids living room. We never knew until the other kids (he woke them too) told us the next morning. When Carson is depressed he sleeps little. When I am depressed, I don't *sleep* a lot, but I want to lay around all day because I feel tired. Hope you figure it all out soon. Sleep, or lack of it has soooo many different "causes". [/QUOTE]
