NO SLEEP FROM MY KID…HELP
Looking for advice.
My son is 5.
He goes right to sleep every night, no problem.
Every. Single. Night. He will wake up anytime from 2-5 am WIDE awake. Ready to go play with toys, color, watch his tablet, jump around. If we don’t let him get his way, he will flail around, scream, cry, wake up his sibling. It’s bad. Example he’s been up for the past hour and is wide, wide awake ready to go for the day. Also some background, he’s had night terrors since about 6 months old. He only has these when he’s overtired or goes to bed too late.
I’d love any tips on this. His school doesn’t allow for naps at his age, and he starts kindergarten in two weeks, with no naps. He goes to be around 8p. We give him melatonin gummies every night and we limit sugar.
We’ve tried - taking him back to his room, just letting him sleep with us…nothing works if we don’t want him to wake his sibling up.
All help is so appreciative. He’s never been a good sleeper since he was an infant. I’m tired, it’s stressful. He’s tired I’m sure (although you’d never ever know it).
