I posted this in sleep but as I was talking i realised that there is a SN element to my problem.
Sorry I know JakB has posted something about sllep but my query / need for advice is a bit different and I'm hoping you might have some pearls of wisdom for me.
We've moved L into a big girls bed. She's going to sleep okay but started waking at 630 and coming into us but it's been getting earlier and earlier. We put a gate up at her door but she sits behind it and cries. This morning it was 4.30!
I'm just so tired, as is D and as is L. I'm tired anyway as early days of pregnancy, and feel nauseaus all afternoon which is being made worse by being so tired and so on. have bad headache behind eyes and feel teary and hormonal, all not helping each other basically.
So my question is, other than knowing how to get her to sllep later, how do I make her understand that it's too early to get up? The girls on sleep section of MN suggested a clock but there's no way she'll understand the concept of that yet, no way. i'm not sure what she understands tbh, not sure if me saying 'it's too early L, go back to sleep, close your eyes'.
Any ideas, I'm so tired I can't think straight, any advice would so gretafully received.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

I'm so tired and I don't know what to do
