[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 64394, member: 3626"] No question in my mind that having to get up early for school caused a lot of my daughter's issues with school, especially starting about 5th grade. I kept wishing I could find a school that was on a double session. It would have made things so much better for her. No matter how early she had to get up, she couldn't go to sleep before 11 pm and it was usually more like 1 am before she was even remotely ready to consider sleeping once puberty set in. She was and is a person who needs at least 9 hours of sleep and actually does best with 10+ hours. Of course, the lack of sufficient sleep also spilled over to her home life and how she interacted with her peers. Now, she usually sleeps until 10 am or later if I let her. If she has to get up earlier, I kind of whimper to myself because I know she'll be unbearable by 2 pm. If she could, she'd stay up until 3 am every night. I did put my foot down on that one because the tv usually wakes me up either by being played downstairs or being shut off and the light upstairs coming on. So, she now goes to bed between midnight and 2 am. [/QUOTE]
