Would you Wake DD?

JCM

I posted earlier that DD was diagnosed with the flu today.  Well she's been napping now going on 3 1/2 hours!  She usually only naps for 1 hour.  It's 5:15 here & her normal bedtime is 8 pm.  Would you wake her or let her sleep since she's sick?

I'd probably wake her and try to get her to eat some dinner. Then I'd put on a movie for a little bit and I can almost guarantee that she will go back to bed pretty close to normal bedtime. The flu makes you feel SO bad. I hope she gets well soon.

Poor thing I hope she feels better

I disagree with PP and I would keep her sleeping.  The flu has to suck.  Heck, I like extra sleep when I have a cold.  When my DD is sick, all bets are off- I allow as MUCH sleep as she wants, it helps them heal.  It's likely her bed time schedule won't mess up even if she sleeps extra.  The flu is tiring.

Don't wake her up! I agree with @Chapter79

I would let her sleep.

I'd let her sleep.

I haven't woken her up so she's still sleeping.  Thanks for the advice.  Even though she had the flu last year I think I caught it sooner & she didn't sleep longer than usual.  I can remember being sick with the flu when I was little & falling asleep on the couch.  

Should I let her sleep as long as she sleeps or wake her for dinner later?

Eee, hard to saaay... I'd let her go to 6:00 pm then wake her, I think. She'll still be tired enough to go to bed, when you have the flu you're always tired.

Thanks!  She just woke up & said she's hungry.  I bet that's what woke her up since she didn't eat much at breakfast or lunch.  Off to make "egg in a hole" for dinner.  It's a first for me & DD LOVES eggs.
