So 5.2 year old, after sleeping through for the past few years, has taken to waking at least once (some nights more) every night. He usually wakes up and starts crying. Sometimes he's half asleep, others he's fully awake. It has coincided with him starting school last September (yes, it really has been going on for that long!).
I don't know if the reason is night terrors, or something deeper? He is in reception, and we got off to a rocky start as he really didn't like going to school at the beginning. He has grown to like it, though comes home in a really bad mood (possibly cos he's tired?) and is a grump till he goes to bed at 7.30. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm concerned that he might be unhappy but can't vocalise it so it's affecting his sleep :(
