[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes he should eat![/quote] At 2am?? Sleep is critically important for kids. He can eat a snack before bed and a big breakfast so that he actually gets a good night sleep.[/quote] Taking 5 minutes to eat a snack when hungry doesn't impede a good night's sleep.[/quote] What? Of course it does. Because if you're awake enough to eat (and in this case, presumably, awake enough to go to your parents bedroom, tell them you're hungry, and wait for them to get you something) your brain has fully engaged and you're awake. Plus now your stomach is digesting food for the next 20 minutes. This is really very different from going to pee in the dark and crawling right back into bed.[/quote]
