Answers:
I would try getting him to go to a sleep clinic and get tested on his performance. It may be hard to find and to get him to do, but they can test him on various tasks on a normal nights sleep, and what he should actually be getting, and maybe that would make him realize, or just a lot of articles on sleep. You don't want to push it too much though, because then he might not like it and it could cause problems. Could you try going to bed earlier, too, maybe get him to go with you, or even try to tire him out earlier.? He might eventually get used to it, and at least you'd have some fun for a bit. Good luck.Health Question & Answer
