wow is this conversation timely - DS7 has always had a difficult time turning off his brain at night. He will lay in bed and discuss everything under the sun. Either DH or myself has to to lay with him until he falls asleep and then he is usually out until morning. The only rough thing is that I am exhausted. DH just took a temporary placement out of state for the next 4 months to help his company out and I am now finding that I am laying in bed with him until 10/11:00 at night and then since I homeschool, I pretty much get zero time to myself before I crash in my bed. Tonight was one of those rough nights where every time I got up to leave his room, he would wake up - it was finally 12:15 when I was able to leave. I SO wish that he would be comfortable being alone and we would have no problem with him laying in bed reading until he fell asleep but he is scared to be alone in bed at night
