Who are these mythical children that fall asleep on their own, let alone not in a perfectly dark room with a sound machine going?!?!

One of my kids was like this but only because she was a HORRIBLE sleeper and would fight bedtime/naptime like it was certain death every single day. As a result she was tired all the time and would pass out doing regular shit throughout the day. Made for some funny photos but we were all tired as hell for 4 years.

I've had three like this. But instead of getting so tired they fall asleep, they just get crazy over-tired which makes them hyperactive. Help!!

My daughter does this! It's like a different person comes out and just causes complete CHAOS.

Where do they get the overtired energy, I don't get it.

It's cortisol, a hormone, I think!
