My 19month old goes to nursery 3 days per week. He normally naps ok there - around 1.5 hours. But still comes home absolutely wired. Last night it took him an hour to go to sleep. He was a mixture of upset and then sitting up chatting, then upset etc. I stayed sat with him until he fell asleep as I normally do. I have no idea if he’s overtired and overstimulated from nursery, or if his sleep needs have changed and he’s undertired. We normally do 5 hours from nap before bed. He was definitely overtired by the time he went to sleep (6 hours) as he had a false start and woke up early this morning which normally happens when overtired. Problem is, he’s wired the minute he gets home around 5pm so when I’ve tried putting him to bed half an hour/15 mins earlier, the same thing happens.
Does this happen to anyone else and has anyone found anything that’s helped?
