"Getting my middle schooler up for school is a nightmare. He has to catch the bus at 6:50. We start trying to get him up at 6:00. Some mornings he is o.k. but other mornings he gets the whole house upset as we plead and beg him to get out the door. He is a good student and a great kid with no disciplinary problems. His bedtime is at 10:00. Giving him an earlier bedtime has not helped...he can't fall asleep. He gets plenty of exercise so he should be tired. Any suggestions? "
