[quote=Anonymous]He needs to go to bed earlier consistently so he's getting enough sleep.

If that's not possible, consider having a parent wake him up. I'm going to list what I do for my hard sleeper.

5:30am - I wake up. Open his bedroom door, turn on the hall light. I take a shower.
6:00am - I finish dressing and getting ready, and call him.
6:05am - I let the dog out and call him.
6:10am - I go in his room and tell him it's time to get up, loudly. If he's non-responsive I turn his overhead light on and continue saying loudly it's time to get up. I may need to physically shake him to get him awake.
6:15am - I let the dog in, make sure DS is awake.
6:20am - I tell DS to get into the shower and get ready.

Typically, by opening his door and having the hall light on while I'm getting ready, he's easier to wake up. He's only this hard to wake up when he's not getting enough sleep. Even though he's 12 DS still needs between 9-10 hours a night, and sometimes it's impossible to get between sports and other activities.[/quote]
