[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81490, member: 1233"] My bro was always like this. Still is VERY hard to wake up, and has a hard time stopping his endless list of busywork to go to sleep. In high school (he was in college, living at home) he used to PAY me $5/wk to pour ice cold water on him to wake him up!! Best job I ever had. We couldn't shake him or touch him to wake him up because he woke up swinging, and could really hurt you. All in his sleep. I also have an uncle (married into the family) who needs 12 hours of sleep. He can and does function on 10, but less than that is terribly hard for him. After travelfor work (he is a sports reporter and covers Olympics and other things) it is not unusual for him to sleep 24+ hours straight. Each of our kids is one of a kind. So your difficult child may need more sleep. BUT you have to make it his responsibility, his job to wake up if you want him to ever function independently. The water pouring was my bro's idea, and he paid for it. That was his way of being responsible for it then. If he didn't get up when I poured the water, I still got paid. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
