Welcome aboard! I'm a 38y/o woman with RSS and nope, I didn't need a whole lot

of sleep

when I was a kid, either. I never napped. I went to bed " late " and woke up

" early " and I was

still as functional as any other kid. I started to sleep later and later as the

teenage years

developed...but then again, I think that's pretty normal for a teenager.

Incidentally, tyhat

trend seems to continue to this very day....please note I'm writing this message

at 2

o'clock in the morning <wink.

I think you are correct about the sleeping/growing connection - at

least for teenagers. My daughter, who is now 19, slept a lot during

her growing period (now she just sleeps a lot because that is what

19 year olds do). Max, who is my RSS child, is 16 and sleeping more

and more. He NEVER took naps and would stay up late and get up

early over the past 12 years or so. Now he naps frequently and

sleeps later. Guess what? He grew about 2cm over the past two

weeks!
