5 year old going to bed until 10pm

[namechange485732]

DD has never been a 'good sleeper' or close to what was described as ideal sleep.
As a newborn I literally don't think I slept for the first 6 months with her. She had dropped all naps by the age of 2.
For a couple of years she would get to sleep relatively ok. Although it slowly started getting later and later. Over the last 3/4 months she can not get to sleep earlier than 10pm. It is driving me mad if I'm honest. As I can't relax until she is asleep (if I don't stay in the room with her she won't go to sleep at all/will just lie there with her eyes open). She is always tired in the morning especially for school.
Even when she first started school I remember other parents talking about how tired their children were and how they are getting to bed for 7. DD still did not sleep. Is anyone else DC of a similar age like this?

I'm genuinely worried she has some form of insomnia.

Sorry OP I disagree, I don’t think a 5yr old should wake up tired if sleeping enough. Such young children tend to wake up energetic when they have enough sleep, and wake up before they need to

Maybe try a dream catcher? The placebo effect can work wonders. DD used to have horrible nightmares but they majorly stopped or didn't seem so bad after we got one. Which had her convinced it worked so she was less anxious about having one before bed.

@JustAnotherManicNameChange I have never heard of them. Thank you it's definitely worth a try
