I must say I'm feeling quite a need to apologize to my mom and dad for the years they put up with my difficult mornings...
I still have a problem, though. The only thing that has changed me some was having my son. He has been the only effective alarm clock I've known.
I thought I had read or heard something a while ago about teenagers needing more sleep than adults. I don't know where I saw it, but I did find this article http://www.drgreene.com/21_555.html (I hope this link works). Maybe she's just being a "normal" teenager.
Sorry it's so frustrating for you, though. But you sound like a great mom and someday your daughter will realize how very lucky she is to have you.
Just for you, fallsfall, I'll set my alarm for a few minutes earlier tomorrow!
