For the last week, my 2 year old has been waking and calling for me every night without fail exactly 30 minutes after I have fallen asleep.
I don't get it as I don't go to bed at the same time every night (it has been anywhere from 10pm to 12.30). If I'm still awake at 11pm she sleeps soundly but if I've fallen asleep at 10.30 she'll wake!
I'm in a deep sleep at that point and it's SO hard to get up and by the time she's resettled I struggle to get back to sleep as my body thinks I've had a nap and I'm good for a few hours. It's driving me insane!
It feels like she just wants to torture me on purpose... or are we just so connected that she can subconsciously feel I'm no longer alert and it unsettles her 😁
Send me strength!
