Walking pneumonia is going around, too.

And now this kid is supposed to go to bed tonight at a regular time and get up for school on Monday?

It must be a growth spurt and cold combined. Feed him well!

I could have easily done that into my college years if I was sick of really really tired. I’m late 30s and I can still easily sleep 10-11 hours on the weekend (no kids). I wish I were one of those people who naturally wake up at 6 am every morning. Never have been.

I personally would have woken my teen at normal waking time to hydrate and eat. I’d be very concerned if they slept that late.

Sometimes, sure, but surely not every weekend? Doesn’t he have anything planned?

Have you never been a teen or do you not have teens?

They biologically can't fall asleep really early. They are also developing/growing a lot and need as much sleep as a newborn.

Correction they are growing as much as a newborn and need appropriate sleep.

Maybe Covid and not a cold? It’s going around and definitely can make you extra sleepy. We all had it recently, just runny noses and sleepiness for a couple of days. No biggie but maybe that’s the culprit.

That is a normal weekend for my 15yo

Yep.

I mean I probably would have shaken him awake at 130 just so his internal clock isn’t too wonky but yeah they can really sleep

How? He's a teenager with a cold.

DS has been fighting a cold all week. DS fell asleep last night at 12:30am and woke up at 3:30pm today-how?!!
