[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 99 year old grandmother just got over an illness and complained that it made her so tired that she wanted to sleep during the day. She refused to sleep when it wasn’t time and insisted that keeping to a schedule helps beat illness. Maybe OP’s mom felt similar?[/quote] I’m the same as your grandma. By nature, I am a night owl but I have a job and life that doesn’t fit that schedule. I've worked hard the last 25+ years to find out that what works for me is to get 8 hours of night sleep and rule number 1 is NO NAPPING. No matter what. Even when I’m sick I try to keep to my regular schedule and if I can’t, I know I’m really sick. I’m not as strict with my kids. When they are sick, I encourage naps. But I don’t like it when they sleep in more than an hour on the weekends. They are getting to an age where I need to let them figure out their own patterns and what works for them. This thread is a good reminder to let them do that. [/quote]
