Time and reality when you're nearly ten.


My grandson Sandy, who is completely out of step with 'reality' at the moment, is asleep on my couch upstairs. He can't get to sleep at night, spends the nighttime hours doing interesting things, then can't go to school in the daytime. No fool him! His poor mother is distracted. How to break the pattern? We get hardly any darkness at present but he is still required to stick to the same routine. Civilisation has all-but destroyed our natural rhythms and children suffer most.
