One of the things that puzzled me when my daughter was an infant was that she slept very little. Of course this equates to me not getting a lot of sleep as well. If she does get to sleep it was a very light sleep and she would constantly awake at the slightest noise.
This proved to be both difficult and challenging for me, I ended up tired and cranky sometimes due to lack of sleep. But not my daughter, she seemed to have boundless energy.
It is only now that I realized it was one of the signs of giftedness, which was a great relief to know.
If you have a child and you feel he/she may be gifted, here is a checklist that would be of help.
