A long shot here but.. Our LG turned 3 in September. Usually a good sleeper around 730 pm until 630 am with roughly a 30-40 min nap between 1230 and 130.
Christmas holidays have been a nightmare!
She suffers with night terrors which seem to happen more when she's out of usual nursery routine ie holidays etc or during illnesses.. and nightmares generally later in sleep between 3am and 5am..but for the past week these have been very apparent. Arousing religiously after first sleep cycle.. (sitting up confused and flopping back to sleep) to then usually have night terrors between 11pm and 12am..
Confused, we'd been going to her wondering what on earth was wrong to then realise these must be terrors as she's not really got a clue what's going on..
The nightmares she will wake screaming but able to talk about what she's dreamt of... I know this is all normal development but we just don't know what to do to help her?!
The other thing is that if she doesn't wake with a nightmare we have a situation like this evening where she got through the night terror but been awake since 230am randomly? Wide awake?! 5am and she's still not gone back to sleep 😔
This hinders day time massively as she will need to go back to sleep, but then affects nap time which essentially affects bedtime 🙄
Anyone share any experiences?
