To already be dreading the clocks going back?

DS wakes at 5.10 regardless of when he goes to bed. I'm not really coping as it is, when it's 4.10 I don't know what I'll do :(

Yanbu. Our daughter was the same last year...she woke at 6 all summer which then became 5. Every morning....for months. It is nothing to do with what the clock says, or what time she goes to bed...her body clock just woke her at that time.

She's suddenly started sleeping till past 7 regularly now (she's 6) and I'm really hoping it won't become 6.

I think if he wakes at 4.10 I'll give up work and move out to the wilds and have no clocks.
