I'm going for a record

This morning, in the hour or so before Sam went to school I was told:

"I hate you!" -- I was trying to wake him
"You never let me do anything!" -- I refused to let him play his computer game
"I hate you!" -- Time to get his coat on for school.

On top of that he hid under the coffee table and I had to drag him out prior to getting ready to leave for school.

I'm somewhat amused, very frustrated, and wondering if there is some particular reason, which he's never mentioned, that he doesn't want to go to school. Honestly though, I think the main reason for him morning antics is that he has such a hard time falling to sleep at night so he's simply sleep-deprived.

I'm so tempted to give him a beer before bedtime!

I hope this stage passes quickly.
