Then can't get up in the morning
Most nights she is in bed by 9ish. Tuesday, I said start getting ready for bed 7 and in bed by 8, which she did, but she still was awake at 12.
In the morning she is dead to the world and it is a struggle to get her out of bed and ready for school on time. This morning she was in zombie mode and wouldn't have looked out of place on Halloween.
She is in Yr 6 and has just a few minutes walk to school, but I dread the thought of her going to secondary next year when she will have a train to catch with DS.
She has alarm clocks going off, but that doesn't wake her. I have bought her an alarm clock docking station for her ipod for christmas which I hope will be louder.
I know this is Karma as I was the same, and in the end our GP gave me sleeping tablets for a couple of weeks to shift my sleeping patterns, which my mum said did work.
It's gone midnight now AND SHE IS STILL AWAKE!
I don't mind her being awake if she could get up in the morning. Should and 11 be able to survive on 8 hours sleep?
Any Ideas?
