Sleep and waking up.

Hi.

My 17 year old is really struggling with sleep and more so waking up.

He's not lazy, he literally cannot wake up. He's not really present and doesn't respond, it's like he's not there and is totally zoned out.

I struggle to get him to college and he only goes in the afternoons and it's having an affect on college now.

He goes to bed at a reasonable hour, we've tried relaxation, herbal remedies, no tv all sorts but his brain just seems more alive at night.

Has anyone's teen had prescription meds for sleep? I'm at a loss and I don't want him to carry on this way as he will never hold down a job at this rate.

Thank you x
