10 year old lives 50:50 between both of our homes and after years of unhappiness at not being here more - seems to be quite settled with the routine. Sleep, however, continues to be a strange pattern. When here, he will need woken for school at 7:30 and in the holidays and at the weekends he can easily sleep beyond 8. Earlier this week, he didn't rise until 9am. When he isn't home, however, he is always up at 6am. Regardless of whether it is a school day, the weekend, or a holiday it is always the same.
It is in bed by half 8 and lights out by 9 on a school night here and movie downstairs goes no later than half 9 on a weekend. When not here, I am told it is bed for 9:30 on a school night and 10 in the holidays. Not too much difference, really.
Just can't comprehend the difference in wake up. Wakes himself at 6am at one house and sleeps loads more at the other.
Any ideas? Beyond the thought that his bed is just more comfortable at home!
