Grace, perhaps that you might also have to face the fact that your child might be one of a million lucky people that does not need sleep as much as the rest of us. My son needed no more than 5 hours. He used to sneak up and play until he felt the need to crash. You do have to curb their habits though, and the way to do it is to force them up in the morning, it's a pain but it works.
My son still sleeps no more than 6 hours.
