She wakes up approx 3 times a night - I don't think she is awake tbh - and comes into our bed
I take her back, two hours later she appears again. She often says that she has had a nightmare.
I have tried:
a) letting her sleep in our bed (she would love to do this every night but I don't WANT her in my bed every night)
b) putting her straight back to bed (cries) and laying with her (knackering for me)
c) getting very cross and sending her away to settle herself back to sleep (HATE this)
d) dh, against my advice, even tried a sticker chart (no effect at all except to upset her in the morning when she doesn't get a sticker)
e) putting a clock/nightlight in her room so she knows wht time to get up (she ignores them)
I don't want to upset her if she is really strugglign with a nightmare BUT this disturbed sleep is really killing me.
Any help or sympathy gratefully received.
