Emme's doldrums
The change of seasons from fall to winter and the reset from daylight savings time to standard time has been toughest on Emmeline.
Emme's often difficult to rouse in the mornings, but lately she's been quite zombie-like. She stumbles off to school when she's supposed to, but we've had a couple of incidents where she's fallen asleep in the school nurse's office and slept for up to an hour.
She's getting plenty of unbroken, restful sleep at home, so I don't think that's the problem.
Her doctor has suggested to us that exposing her to bright light -- something we have in very limited supply at our house -- may be the cure. So Bonnie went out today to buy a full-spectrum lamp for Emme's room, which we'll be putting in right away. We'll see if that makes any difference.
