<p>Our daughter didn’t even get herself out of bed in the morning and when she went off to her first (disastrous) semester of college, put it on her roommates to get her up. We began to work with an ADHD specialist (among others, after she had to take a leave and later restart) and the very first task the doctor took on was getting her to be responsible for getting herself up in the morning. It was fascinating but after years of her sleeping like the dead and having waking her up be an ordeal every day, it really was not all that difficult for her to learn to be responsible for herself. It was partly just a paradigm shift in her own mind/psyche. Working with a third party professional can be helpful in any circumstance, including relearning behaviors. No illness, no stigma, just objective guidance.</p>
