3 year old son waking up in night…

Tired mum desperately seeking advice… our 3 year old son has got into a horrible habit of waking up twice in the middle of the night (wandering into our bedroom asking us to lie next to him, we tuck him back into his bed without saying anything & walk out) & then 5.30am is his wake up 😫
He has a grow clock which is set to 6.15am (which I’d be happy with) so I make him wait in bed until the sun comes up.
His room is blacked-out, we have a good bedtime routine (no milk after 6am, read him 3 books & lie at the end of his bed so he can’t see us & he falls asleep really quick around 7.15am) & he always says he will stay in bed until the sun comes up but never does 😡
The last 2 days he didn’t have a nap during the day & you would of thought that would make him sleep all the way through because I’m shattered so he must be but noooo!
Looking back I think he’s been doing it for way over a year now & I just can’t cope anymore …. Please help!

Does he usually nap in the day? If so I would drop it and push through with the afternoon tiredness consistently for 2 weeks to reset his body clock.
