9yo having trouble sleeping

[MinnieMountain]

My 9yo DS has been waking up early and struggling to get back to sleep. He normally sleeps for 9 hours but it’s more like 7 at the moment.
I've made sure his bed and room aren’t too hot. It’s not an exercise thing- that makes no difference.
I tried getting him to turn his light off a bit earlier but that didn’t help.

Does anyone have any other ideas please?

We're moving this thread to our Chat topic for the OP (and giving it a bump to get it back into Active Conversations).

Could he stick an audio book on? Or there's some kids meditations available on Spotify, check out Christiane Kerr.

Teaching him meditation might work.
I’m mainly wondering if there’s a reason why this is happening.
