DS is 18mo and usually goes off to sleep pretty easily around 7.30pm after a simple routine.
For the last month or so he's been waking in the small hours and we find standing in his cot, wide awake and no matter what detemination we use to get him back off in his cot again he will not and yells his head off until we give in and bring him in with us.
I'm not averse to co-sleeping but he wriggles, punches and kicks so much that DP ends up on the sofa most nights :(
For the last week this has been going on from midnight. Urgh.
He naps OK in the day (about 1 - 1.5 hrs after lunch)
He just doesn't seem to want to be in his cot when he wakes at night. We try putting him back once asleep in our bed and he wakes the instant his head hits his cot pillow and it all starts again.
what to do...??

18mo - persistent night-waking leading to co-sleeping (leading to us being kicked in the head all night) <wail>
