If he's doing well on that amount of sleep, I wouldn't worry about it. Our DS8 is a night owl, taking after his mother, but he's a bear to get out of bed in the morning, also taking after his mother! It's a struggle on both ends of the day when school is in session.

On another note, umm...too many AR points? What, were they running out and she was afraid he wouldn't leave enough for someone else? laugh
