DS13 has always been a good sleeper. Head hitting pillow and going straight through until I wake him for school. However in the past 3-6 months he's been going to sleep as usual and then waking up an hour later complaining he can't sleep
Take tonight as an example. Lights out 9pm. Asleep almost straight away. Then 10.15pm the tell tale creak of the stairs and he's at the lounge door. Back upstairs and a cuddle and a pep talk and I thought all good. Just about to get in bed myself at 11.15 and here he is again complaining of a headache and saying been awake for the past hour. Sent back to bed again with me sitting on bed quietly talking to find out what's wrong. Turns out nothing and headache goes.
We can then have this for a few nights before maybe a week of good sleeping again
IS this normal teen sleep issues? He can't go to sleep any later than 9pm because he's yawning as it is
Screens off by 8pm and then he reads for about 45 minutes before he calls me to say goodnight.
At wits end here and don't know how to help him. Anyone?
