  Case: Student sleeps all day
In my EBD room, I have a student who sleeps all day. He has a very rough home life ( mom on drugs and in and out of jail) and the father is in jail. I ask him why he is so tired and he just tells me that he stays up all night. From what I was told by other teachers, he runs the streets a lot and involved in some stuff with his mother. I am the co-teacher in the room and have spoke to the teacher about allowing him to sleep in the hallway (where two rooms connect by the bathroom) all day and not doing any work. I was told by the teacher that it is easier to allow him to sleep because if he is awake than he is disruptive. There is no talking to his mother because it has been done before and she does not care. How do I transition this student from sleeping at night and not during classroom time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe this student needs to be more actively involved in class? Perhaps give him a job where he has responsibilities. Let him know that he is needed in the classroom. I might incorporate more movement in the class, maybe some brain breaks? This might help him wake him up. You can also talk to him.
