[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 76520"] Myself, easy child and difficult child all suffer from headaches. difficult child more severe. What the neurologist told every one of us is that you MUST keep a regular sleep pattern. Number of hours slept is not as important as the pattern. If you go to bed at 9pm and get up at 9am, it is important that you keep that pattern. Staying up later, getting up sooner or vice versa can be a cause for headaches. Also, breakfast is very important. So...I saw him two weeks ago, and he told me this. (not the first time and I have heard it all before with kids) But..tell me, what is a sleep schedule? I work midnight to noon. If I have appointments or errands to run I may not get home until late afternoon. If difficult child has baseball at 5pm, I get very few yours to sleep. And...when exactly would breakfast be? Should I be eating breakfast when I get home? Or would that be my lunch? Could be my dinner since I sleep through that. On my 4 days off, I turn into a day person. Sleep a lot that first day, but up early and a normal day person. difficult child tries to stay up late because his friends do(online). but he is very tired. Tries to sleep late because his friends do, but he is up early. (9am weekends). When he stays at a friends house they stay up all night. I KNOW he doesn't like that but that is what everyone else does. Oh...exception..we don't allow that at our house. difficult child doesn't want friends to sleep over because we do not allow all nighters. I tend to agree that sleep patterns, bed time and awake time are important. [/QUOTE]
