5 year old suddenly won’t sleep!

My 5 year old DS who has always been brilliant at going to bed has suddenly started messing around for hours after bedtime. He’s not just in his room- he’s running down stairs, going in to wake his 8 year old brother, hiding in random places etc. He watches hardly any TV, does plenty of outdoor activities etc so nothing obvious needs to be changed in terms of lifestyle. Anyone else who has been through this? How do you deal with it? It’s driving me insane. Short of holding his bedroom door handle closed for hours I can’t think of a solution!

my dd is like this and it's I think it's when she's feeling like her thoughts are going overdrive.

I lie with her in bed in the dark and chat about our day and what's coming up. helps her wind down.

totally doesn't always work, just yelled at her tonight as she'd come downstairs for the 100th time since 7pm.
