I read on something that one of the characteristic of G & T child is sleep less hours than normal kids.
I know it doesn't apply to all the gifted children, but it does certainly apply to my ds.
I calculated if child slept 3 hours less than normal child everyday, 3 X 7 = 21, 21 x 4 = 84, 84 x 12 = 1008 hours a year. 1008/ 24 = 42 days.
So in 8 years, 42 x 8 = 336. That means in about 8 years time, the child who sleeps 3 hours less than normal child had 1 year of extra wake time.
I started think it's no wonder they are advanced.
But at the same time, I worry, does this have some impact on their growth?
My ds sleeps about 7~ 8 hours every night, and he is never tired. How long does your child sleep? Does anybody has info about consequences of sleeping shorter time as a child?
