Special Mom’s blog

I remember my grandmother sitting with her book reading late at night. My dad listening to music on his transistor listening to music. My grandfather and my mom already slept, I would be sitting next to my grandma trying to study. Okay, late means around 10 pm.

With my son’s autism sleep has been an issue forever! He can go to bed late or wake up at 3 am in the morning! There was an automatic deal with me and my husband. No written rules, just our sleep rhythm. He slept early and on days my son was up until midnight, I would be up. If my boy was up early in the morning, my husband would be up with him! Yes me being a night person and my husband being a morning person helped our situation!

Anyhow, touchwood, my boy’s sleep situation is much better! I now enjoy the peace and quiet of my home after 9 pm. If my boy comes down, he knows I will engage him in an activity and bore him. So he remains in his room! All my personal stuff get accomplished between 9 and 11 pm.

Okay, I can’t stay up after midnight! If being up after midnight is a night person then I am not one 😄!
