[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was the same. I am a high sleep needs person and probably have some sort of ADD sleep related issues where I shut down after going going going and need sleep.

She never let me nap or sleep in on weekends even when we had no where to be.

I believe with my Mom it was some weird resentment which she still has for me. Now, even as an adult, if I sleep late or nap or have a lazy day in bed I feel so guilty.[/quote]

YES.

I let my inattentive, sleep apnea-perturbed son sleep in when he has nowhere to go. His body needs the sleep! I remember so well my mother forcing my father and I out of bed every single morning, because she was up by 6am no matter what, and thought early habits were some sort of moral rectitude. My father snored badly and probably needed more sleep than he got. Now in his 70s he's developing dementia. Maybe lack of sleep contributed! I am not a morning person either and have trained my 5am-waking husband and daughter to be quiet in the morning. I am convinced that waking me earlier than my natural wake-up time is going to lead me to dementia and/or an early grave.

It's healthiest to go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time every day.  It's best for the body, for those people who naturally are regulated and scheduled and even moreso for those who aren't. [/quote]
