[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old wakes up by 5am everyday. If she’s up earlier the rule is she can’t leave her room or go downstairs before 5am. We have tried to make her stay in longer but she’ll play in her room and wake everyone up. She can barely keep her eyes open past 6:30pm and it’s hard to do things at night. Going out to dinner or going to a friends house becomes a pain because we have to leave since she’s so tired.  She has sports and activities after school so it’s also hard to fit in homework because s she’s a mess trying to fit in dinner, shower winding down etc. (sports are not everyday.)

My main question is- is there a way to get her to sleep in later?  If we keep her up later she does not change the time she wakes up…. Should we keep trying consecutive days to see if she’ll sleep in?  It’s really starting to be a strain on the rest of the family—- hearing her moving around by 5am everyday and also having to make sure she’s in bed around 7pm because she’s a nightmare post 7pm.
