[QUOTE="Shari, post: 64509, member: 1848"] My wee difficult child has been getting on a bus to school for a year and a half now. His sleep schedule, tho, is non-existent. Past two nights he's gone to bed before 7pm and slept til I woke him at 7am. A month ago, he was staying up til midnight or later and could not go to sleep, despite trying so hard. On our little vacation in there, he was going to bed at 9pm and sleeping 12 hours. He does not fight sleep and never has, and often will take himself to bed when he's tired. So, while his sleep "pattern" is not there, his need for sleep is very evident thru his various "periods" or "stages". And during those times when he can't get the sleep he needs (can't go to sleep before midnight and he has to get up at 6:30am) and it drags on for days on end, that becomes the link between successful days and disasters. difficult child 1 was a morning person. Personally, I'm a night owl. If I could sleep til 8 everyday, and work my tail off around 8pm, be my dream job. I hold down my 8-4:30, andI get up at 6 to do it, and my kids always catch the bus, blah, blah, blah, but it is not the most efficient use of "me", even at this age. easy child 1 is the same way.
