[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Do everything the evening before

2. Hard exercise the afternoon before.

3. Early to bed.

4. Call in the morning to wake her up. Send ringer to LOUD.

5. If she can, enlist a friend as an accountability buddy to wake her up.

6. Fix bedding and temperature, or see a doctor. She should not be sweating in her sleep. Is she obese?

7. Give her a little coffee when you wake her up.

8. Don't just wake her up. Stand her up and get her out of her room. Lights on across house. Energetic music playing.

I think being alone is a big part of it. Get her up with you home, ready early. She can do homework or play on her phone while waiting for the bus. [/quote]

Mostly disagree.
She's in 10th grade. She needs to take responsibility.
She has an alarm clock - parents should absolutely not be calling her to wake her up again. #5 is better - but SHE should be coming up with these solutions and taking responsibility for putting them in place. She can sit down and brainstorm with her parents but she needs to come up with a plan and make it happen. If she doesn't, she starts losing some privileges.[/quote]
