[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to train yourself to sleep when he’s not home.  Devise a system where he turns off a hall light or something you can see from your bed when he gets home.  You’ll get used to it, OP.

Your nearly grown son is learning to self-regulate and trust himself to make time management decisions.  [/quote]
I think this is the answer, OP.  I think a lot of parents have trouble sleeping when college-age children are out![/quote]

So you don’t sleep at all while they are at college? You have no idea where they are. Or what bad thing could be happening.

If you sleep just fine when they are away at college, then this “I can’t sleep until you get home thing” is just a control issue. Bad stuff happens at 11pm too. [/quote]

It is actually much easier when your adult child is out of the house & you do not worry where they are, if they are safe, etc.
I cannot give you an answer (that makes sense!) for why this is so.

I am a Mother who cannot fall into a consistent, restful slumber until my adult live-in child is home.
I think unless you have been in this position - it is tough to understand the unique feelings that us parents feel.[/quote]
