[quote=Anonymous]I have a non sleeper and what I do is that I start quiet time around 8:30 - electronics go off, snacks, clean up, pjs, teeth and then reading. I let mine stay up until 10 or 10:30 on school nights and later on non-school nights (he gets up at 6 am). It hasn't affected his performance at school or anything - but then he's never been a sleeper. When I go to bed, he has to as well, but even then he doesn't always fall asleep until later. Just because most kids need more sleep doesn't mean that there are not some outliers, like my son and maybe your daughter. I see no reason to make my son miserable by making his lay in bed when he can't sleep just because most kids need more sleep than he does. I give him the tools - routine, no electonics, fully belly, quiet time, etc. But I can't make him sleep.[/quote]
