Teen ds is totally wearing me down. He is like a sloth in the morning. He wakes at random times. Between approx 4.45 and 8.30am with no connection to whatever time he goes to bed. When he goes to bed at night he is noisy, won't settle down and crashing around in his bedroom. I tell him quietly that neighbours need to sleep but doesn't seem to realise or care. He gets energised about 6pm. He gets exercise on a football field for 2 hours a day. An hour in the afternoon and again about 7.30 pm.
Melatonin isn't working like it usually does, even a stronger dose. So in the morning I'm shattered and can't wake up.
He's not making any effort to do work. No self motivation at all. When we do actually sit to do work, he won't stay seated and is constantly messing around. He complains, and has a bad attitude to learning. School are trying to get him a place from 15 June.
He has ADHD and can't take meds (tried them all on/off for 7 years).
All can think is this is going to be like this for another 3 months. He badly needs his sporting activities which were intensive and tired him out. He won't even go for a walk. We've been no further than the football pitch for weeks
