[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm with you. My kid needs sleep, and nearly every time she has a late night sleepover and doesn't get enough sleep she will get sick within a few days with cough, cold, asthma kicking up, etc., feeling pretty awful and missing several days of school. She also is a social introvert and loves being around friends but really maxes out and needs quiet and sleep by 11 or 12. It's just who she is. Do what works for your kid. I like the PPs' ideas to pick her up earlyish and bring her home. We've done that a time or two so she can still be included, and it was no big deal to her or her friends. We also know which kids' parents will encourage a lights out time, and which won't, and plan accordingly. And we make sure she has plenty of other chances to socialize with friends, like meeting up for a fun activity, dinner, having friends over, etc. Not doing a lot of all-night sleepovers has not affected her social life.
