[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, she's lost the privilege of hitting snooze and getting herself up. She now has to be woken up fully, removed from bed, and in the shower before you leave. It sucks that she's going to miss 30 minutes of sleep (or whatever), but that's the consequence for missing school.[/quote]

This. She puts her final alarm clock across the room.

As someone who has always been a night sweating mess, I sympathize with her. She needs to do everything besides shower, skincare, dressing the night before. This is not working.

Also, I have a kid who sleeps through many alarms and is a champion snoozer. We got him a bed shaking alarm to help wake him up. The link is coming through as a whole paragraph, so search "loud bed shaking alarm" on amazon. It has a little disk that goes under your pillow and vibrates in addition to the alarm.

You need a consequence for failing to get up by some set time. In our house, kid has to be out of bed by 6:55 and and downstairs by 7:05 or he loses his phone for the day.[/quote]
