ADVICE: Getting my toddler to sleep through the night?!

Question

Okay, so my SO, daughter (who will be 2 in April) & I share a room living with my parents. I put her down for bed around 10pm (sometimes later if she's too hyped up) & like clockwork, around 3:30am, she wakes up & refuses to go back to sleep. I've tried giving her water in sippy cups, getting up with her & letting her burn off some energy, waking her up early & laying her down early for bed, cut out nap time, etc. She will ALWAYS wake up around the same time! She will stay awake for a good 2 hours after waking from her sleep. Any advice on how I can get her to sleep through the night?! I'm at a loss here lol

Answer

My advice, let her be. My daughter also wakes up a few times, and let’s be honest, we do too as adults because it’s normal. 
Don’t give her water, food or something else. Keep the lights off, go to her and tell her “It’s still night, go back to sleep”. 
She will fight you I can guarantee that. Ignore it for 10 minutes and then go to her again and repeat the same sentence. Do this every 10 minutes and every day she will probably fight you less. 
Our daughter still wakes up and most off the times she just talks to her stuffed animals or sings a song and falls back asleep. She has recently started to scream (attention) and we ignore that completely unless we think there is something wrong. 
This method worked for us. Good luck! 😘
