He doesn't seem ill, no nausea or stomach ache, he wakes at 11pm/2am/6am/8am and spends about 20/30 mins on the loo so he's exhausted when he wakes up. I work full time so a friend collects him which he's not happy about, he keeps telling me he's sad that I can't collect him. He goes to a church school so it's not exactly fun for him when he's there and he's always been a home and mum child IYKWIM. He moves to secondary school in September which will be alot better for him but he will have to et up earlier to get there. He's also ot some pre-puberty hormones (cuddly, wants to eat alot (not at all like him) etc). I've asked him if he's unhappy at school and he says no, he doesn't eat anything unusual over the weekends. I can't send him to school like this though and I have to take the day off work to look after him, they must think I've had a heavy weekend!!
I am at a loss of what to do for him.

Thankyou

At the risk of sounding a bit simplistic, do you eat anything specific on Sunday that you don't normally during the week? Could it possibly be something that doesn't agree with him or that he has more of to eat or drink during the day on Sunday?

DD actually used to have LESS stomach ailments on the weekend, and we figured out eventually it was because we relaxed a bit and she drank less milk on weekends - and it was what led to discovering she had a milk/lactose intolerance.

Not really apart from Sunday lunch. I'll try him with something else this weekend and see if it makes a difference
