DS8 is a light sleeper and shares with DS7. Our room is directly below them (reverse layout).
Several times a week he will come down at 2am to tell us:
I can't get to sleep.
I'm hot
I've had a bad dream
The odd time I am too exhausted to walk him upstairs so he gets in. DH will also doing take him upstairs and wait until he is settled. Whatever happens, l cannot get back to sleep myself and am often lying there until 4 or 5am when I drop back off.
I am knackered the next day and feel so flat and out of whack.
Tell him unless he's sick/really scared and try and go back to sleep himself?
He really struggles to get himself back off. He has a cuddle toy and a bedtime snack and drink.
