DS has always been a very sound sleeper once he gets to sleep--he can sleep through anything. When he's going to sleep he has trouble getting the wheels to stop turning in his head.
Our main problem is that he does not need much sleep and never has. At 12, he needs less sleep than either his father or I do and even when he was younger 9 hours was about all he needed and I need at least 8. So we get him tucked in and then go to sleep, so I can be awake for a half hour or so before I have to deal with him in the morning--I like to be alone in the a.m. Often one of us goes to bed before him so we are rested enough to get up with him in the morning. The one with tucking in duty gets to "sleep in". Now I think I see the real reason why we only have the one child....
