Hey Margaret, what can we help you with?

Well, my question was that I have a four-year-old son named Jasper, and he doesn't think that he sleeps.

Every time I will try to talk to him about sleeping or ask him how he slept, he's convinced that he never sleeps.

So he'll tell me that like he didn't even close his eyes you know say like how to sleep last night

I think, I don't know when it started because I think he's always thought this way.

he could talk well enough to, like I could ask him about his dreams and then he would start saying

like, no, like I didn't have any dreams

do you say about like I would be like okay and then one time he was like one time we were on this

late night flight and he fell asleep on the plane and so he didn't wake up until I put him to bed and he was like how did we
