I guess that's what I mean about our current sleep approach. I've kinda won the "Battle." It's getting us by, and he's sleeping more "appropraitely" by most people's standards, but I'm not sure it's really for the best. I may just be FORCING him.
When I was reading through sleep books, "non-24 hr sleep cycle" was noted, but not even discussed. DS seems to prefer a 30 hr schecule w/10 hrs sleep. His father once did a similar schedule in university, and I know I've always had a really hard time not drifting out to 26 hrs or so. So we've got it in the family too. But then I've also heard that most people are actually more comfortable with 25 or 26 hr days. Ugh.
I think sleep is just a big problem for parents of young kids, and expecially so for this subgroup. And maybe the parents on here are less likely to try the harshest cry-it-out approaches (I _do_ know people who listened to 2 hrs+ of crying for years before "succeeding," I just would never do it)
Anyway, once you've mentioned Sleep, everyone's frustrations come pouring out! Right now we don't have a lot of other real problems. We have had, but they've mostly been more tractable (and I see our sleep issues are minor compaired to what others are posting!)
