do gifted kids ever have normal sleep patterns?

both Rite and Mite have difficulty falling asleep. both will stay up until nearly midnight, in their respective rooms, listening to books on tape and laying in their beds with books about them.

Once asleep they sleep through the night, but getting them there is an issue.

We would like Mite to sleep earlier to see if that addresses some of his attention issues, but we can't find a way to make it happen. He's always up at about 6-630 without our prompting and without an alarm clock.

suggests?
