I once read that if your child routinely falls asleep in the car he is not getting the sleep he needs. I think that this is such an important sign of overtiredness and is a great clue as to whether your child is getting enough sleep. If your child often falls asleep while running errands around town, think about his sleep habits and ask yourself if you are allowing adequate time for sleep in his own bed. If your child is generally happy and alert in the car, it's probably safe to assume that he is well rested. Just a little food for thought...
