[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ugh. This is what I was afraid of. I probably wouldn't care as much if my kid could hang with it, but she really can't. She's never been able to cope on no sleep, from infancy on. I don't want to not allow sleepovers, but the no sleep thing is simply so much worse for her than it appears to be for her friends, I really don't know how to handle it.

It seems like a courtesy to me that parents could at least make sure the kids get SOME sleep, but it seems I'm an outlier here.[/quote]

You can't make kids sleep even if you take away electronics. They could talk all night long. I make my son and his friend hand over electronics at 11pm but they still talk until midnight or later when I fall asleep. Why not just wait until the summer when your kid doesn't have much going on?[/quote]

I might have to, but I'm just wondering whether it's fair/reasonable to ask for some sleep to occur. Seems the answer is no. And that's fine, I just need to adjust. Sucks for DD who doesn't want to be left out, but the fallout from the all night party is pretty severe around here. It would be nice if other parents would help encourage some sleep as well, but again, I seem to be an outlier.[/quote]
