[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 495788, member: 1550"] I don't remember the history, but is this child using drugs? I have no idea if that is why she is staying up. She may ALSO have a sleep disorder, such as insomnia. I have two kids who really have trouble getting to sleep...it is not intentional, both are adults now. But they CAN'T sleep well and are tired a lot. One is on medications for depression and that just makes the fatigue worse. My oldest daughter (the one who still has trouble sleeping) used drugs in high school and she would usually get high late at night when we were sleeping, then she'd have to take downers to get her to sleep at all and she'd sleep all day. There are reasons somebody may not be able to sleep beyond willful disobedience. On how can you make her want to help herself...sadly, in my opinion you really can't. they have to want to get better and try hard. However...I'd look into seeing if she has a sleep disorder. They are common. Also..be sure she is not using drugs. [/QUOTE]
