Advice needed - 6 year old refusing to sleep after illness

Hi all,

Looking for some advice as we are beyond tiredness at the moment and struggling.

6 year old DS was ill early last week and ever since, nighttime has been really tough.

Bedtime is 7pm and he takes a while to go to sleep but eventually does but will now wake around 12am crying saying he wants to sleep in our bed or me come in with him, he can't sleep, he's having nightmares, needs a wee, too hot etc.

I've lost count the amount of times DH and I have been back and forth to his room throughout the night trying to settle him, reassure him etc.

Last night I ended up in his bed which so cramped and uncomfortable, I laid there awake most of the night.

We are walking around like zombies and I struggle to function at work.

Has anyone got any tips on getting through a phase like this?
