Okay so she doesn't need to be anywhere, so technically its not an issue. I let it go last week as we got back from Canada last Monday and our sleep patterns were askew, but its been a week now
I also suspect that she has delayed sleep phase disorder and I have booked a GP appointment for her tomorrow.
During term time she would struggle with the early start since she could rarely sleep before 1 or 2 am. She would shower the night before so that she could literally get up 15 minutes prior to leaving the house. She would then just throw on clothes and go (eating her breakfast in the car). I enabled this by driving her in, when she could have got the school bus which would leave half an hour earlier. She would be quite zombie like by the end of the week and would use the weekend to sleep in and recharge.
I have told her that I am not prepared to drive her to her sixth form college every day in September and she will have to get the bus which leaves at 7.20.... she does have a genuine problem I think (the delayed sleep phase disorder) hence the doctors appointment tomorrow. I just wonder how far I should accept this? Should I be dragging her out of bed right now? (I've been up three times trying to coax her to get out of bed), or should I just let sleeping girls lie? It just feels 'wrong' for her to still be sleeping (as she has pretty much every day since we got back from holiday)
