[quote=Anonymous]My kids miss their friends and want to be at school but the big silver lining has been that my 14 yr old is well rested for the first time in years.  She is naturally a night owl, just like DH and does best when she can go to bed really late and sleep until 10am ish.  Of course, this doesn't work with school hours so she is chronically over tired. As a result, she gets sick easily and ends up missing too much school.

We've spent years trying to help her sleep better - strict "sleep hygiene" habits, white noise, no screens in evening, occasional use of melatonin, sleep studies. Ultimately, nothing works.  She lies in bed until she can fall asleep at midnight or later.  She's just like DH whose ideal sleep hours are 1am-9 or 10am.

Now, she can actually do that and she feels so much better.  She now wants to figure out how she can do work as an adult that works with her sleep schedule.  DH manages by having a WAH IT job where he doesn't have to log in until 10am for daily meeting.[/quote]
