My mother thinks that I have to go to bed as early as 9:30, even on the weekends. I find this unfair, because it sais on this website that ,although I need 9 hours of sleep, if I go to bed on the weekends at 11:00, I should be able to sleep in until 7 o'clock. My mother never gives me the chance to get into the routine of this, and so every time she does let me stay up that late, I wake up groggy and disgruntled. I know that if you sleep out of routine, you will feel groggy, but once you get into the groove, you sleep normal. How can I convince my mom into this deal? I am a 15 year old with ADD.

Most children are mature and want to be recognized for who they are. They may have their habits planned out. I suggest you work with your daughter to establish healthy habits.

We see terrible mood-swings in her when she doesn't sleep enough, but the's very resistant to going to bed at at a time that will allow her sufficient sleep.
