Sawyer has had a rough sleep pattern the last few weeks. The change of season and time certainly play a part. The rest is simply his internal clock, so different from the rest of ours.
There have been a lot days that have started around 4 o'clock in the morning. There have been a lot of nights with only five or six hours of sleep.
And then Saturday night there was the oddest of all, asleep by 7 o'clock one evening all the way until 6 o'clock the next morning. Sawyer doesn't do all night, and he certainly doesn't do 11 hours on any given night.
And now this, sound asleep at school by lunch time. Who knows how long he will sleep, or what, if anything, it might mean for tonight. A vicious cycle, round and round we go ...
Special thanks to Sawyer's teacher Mrs. K for sharing the photos.
