Hello,
I have read that gifted children require less sleep but am still concerned about how little DS8 gets. He is put to bed between 8-8.30pm but is likely to still be reading at 11pm (sometimes even later). He is usually asleep by midnight. I have tried insisting that he goes to sleep and taking away his books but he always finds something else to do (eg math games in his head!).
He wakes up around 7am on school days - earlier on weekends for some reason! He does not appear overly tired and gets good grades. I have therefore chosen not to push the issue anymore. I wanted to see what experiences others were having and if they decided to leave it alone or work on it. Does anyone know of research in this area with gifted kids?
