My 9 year old won’t sleep!

[Stressed88]

I’m having trouble with my 9 year old sleeping he goes to bed and we read a book together but he is still wide awake at 11pm I try to go to bed myself and he is still awake sometimes till after 2am! I’ve trued so much and feel like I’m loosing patients with him I’m only getting about 4 hours a night and I’m finding it hard to function the next day
Please any help would be helpful thank you

Has he always been this way or is it a new thing?

Does he exercise? I found knackering them out with some form of excercise after school helped.

No it’s been happening for a few weeks off and on he is home schooled and is active all day

Ok so if this is a new thing try to decipher what has changed since this started, could be something minor like room temp, change of duvet, night lights / tv in room anything or it could be from an emotional disruption, any change in behaviour other than the sleep? Does he seem down, angry, confused, worried etc.

If this isn't something he normally does then something has caused it. When you decipher the root cause, you can solve it.
