I do basically what you do, just without the timeout part. He has been on holidays for the past week, but this has been going on for a few weeks. He has had some trouble with his teacher, but that's been going on all year. He generally goes to bed at 7pm and reads for half an hour, then goes to sleep, happily. He sleeps 10-11 hours a night. Sometimes on the weekend I let him stay up until 9. I really can't think of anything that coincides with this behavior.
I ask him what's going on inside, to which he just replies, "I just want to do things all the time" or, "I never want to sleep". He isn't usually angry until I tell him it's bedtime- he just wants to read or write. I'm just worried, I guess, that it's the beginning of something else.
