[quote=Anonymous]This isn’t something that can easily be fixed, and it is not your fault. That said, DO NOT try to force them to wake up at the ‘correct’ time on weekends, that will cripple them even more than our damnable organizations are doing already. Look up circadian rhythm. Your body has a genetically defined clock for when it wants to sleep, and cannot be meaningfully changed. 1, maybe 2 hours at most. The proper solution to this would be to let her sleep when she feels like it till she naturally wakes up. This is not realistic because the government has decided to mandate you torture your child for little real benefit. Your other option is medication, which might or might not work. This is called dspd, and there aren’t any real cures. This is good for support: https://www.reddit.com/r/DSPD/ https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/chronotypes[/quote]
