For how quickly and easily he falls asleep!

He can be doing whatever, eating, gaming, watching tv, shopping, you name it.  He gets ready for bed in about 5 minutes, lays down, and within 5 minutes he's asleep!  What gives and why can't that happen for me?

I thought I would start this thread for parents who have had children with non-traditional sleep patterns, or who have them with non-traditional.

I am the Mom of a 17yr old, and we learned the hard way how to keep him safe.

I am also someone who has non-traditional sleep patterns...so am likely more tolerant of it.

My husband is really into listening to podcasts.  He got me into it as well, but for a different reason.  I love to listen to them before bed, they really help put me too sleep!  I used to tape record one class in undergrad (he talked while we were frantically coping figures) and I started to use it when I couldn't sleep.  I thought it was just because it was kind of boring listening to, but I guess it's something about just laying down and listening to something.

A pirated copy of this book went viral.  Now the actual book is set to be published.  Will you buy it?
