But it's not.
Sawyer has always struggled the most with sleep. Or perhaps more accurately, we have always struggled the most with trying to get Sawyer to sleep.
The truth is the kid really only needs about six hours of sleep on any given day. That's it. So when you try to put him to bed at a decent hour for a five-year old, say around 9 o'clock, that doesn't get you very far into the night.
Not once, but TWICE this week alone, he has woken up at just after 3 o'clock in the morning. One of those nights, he didn't even go to bed until after 10 o'clock the night before.
The time change has not helped, of course. But it's more than that. It's simply his internal clock. Apparently 3 a.m. is when he's ready to start his day.
The rest of us, not so much.
So it's a struggle to balance what he needs with what the rest of us need. And it's a vicious cycle that just keeps going and going.
