Why does it take my 2 year old so long to fall asleep?

Question

He starts getting tired around 12 after lunch. Yawning and rubbing his eyes. But he will lay awake for 2 hours before he finally falls asleep. He goes to bed around 8pm and won’t fall asleep until around 10pm and then wakes up by 6:30am.

Answer

Is he just laying awake or is he crying and fussing? If he’s just laying in there getting some down time then I’d just leave it be.

Answer

Its always been hard for me to fall asleep. I think its just the way some people are. I take at least an hour or 2 to fall asleep and my boyfriend can fall asleep the second his head hits the pillow

Answer

You gotta drop the naps 😴

Answer

My son dropped his nap shortly after turning 2.  It was a transition, plenty of days he was tired.  I laid him down and he would lay quietly until that quiet time became less and less.  He’s 2.5 now and rarely naps.  Also now he sleeps great and gets 12-13 hours every night.
