Agree
Quote From: cowgirl_k1) Though I love Dr. Phil dearly, I felt he was not fully investingating why his guest today might be hitting her alarm clock and going back to sleep. Her morning fatigue/extreme sleepiness could easily be a sleep related problem and not her laziness. It sounds that she may not have restful sleep (multitude of reasons) and should be treated by a sleep specialist. I've had difficulty waking since I can remember (like her) and have discovered that I have sleep apnea. "Sleep Clinic doctors" can help diagnose if there is a problem and provide alternatives for her to improve her sleep. I went from dragging out of bed (multiple snoozes too) tand now no longer require an alarm clock! Hope this suggestion finds your guest!!
2) Unrelated, I'm 37 now but as a teen my Dad took away my bed after having to remind me to make it daily. I slept in a sleeping bag on the floor for a couple weeks. And now I always make my bed. Keep up the good work on training kids to respect the household rules, their parents, and their belongings!! I agree Dr. Phil did not fully investigate but I was glad to hear that information that day. I normally don't get to watch TV that time of day as I am usually at work. However I might not be employyed soon and I might get fired because I am always late. I also have been late for everything my entire life except for the occasional trip to Disney. This is what makes me agree with the part about avoidance but I have slept through the alarm and have been able to fall asleep easly except for recently for all of my life, it is the ingoing joke in my family. I am very thankful to hear of this issue on the show and hear from everyone on the board regarding this issue. I now know of some avenues to check on and that I am not just lazy.
