    I'm quite new, so I hope no one minds a question that may have come up in the past. I've seen a few casual references around here that suggest that sleep (as in, not sleeping much) may be more of an 'issue' for young GT kids than others their age. I don't know yet if my DS (18 months old) is 'officially' GT or not, but I have strong suspicions in that direction - and he really, really seems like he has trouble "turning his brain off" to go to sleep. And most parenting resources out there (regardless of their specific philosophy) just don't seem to address this problem.

    So, just wondering, has anyone else had major challenges on the sleep front when your GT kids were toddler-aged - and any tips on how to deal with it?
