Restlessness at night/early waking after vaccines

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar. DS recently had his 3y 4m vaccinations and ever since then has been incredibly restless at night - tossing and turning every 20 mins or so, waking constantly and is up for the day every day between 3.30-4.15am. This has been every night since the 13th - vaccines early afternoon and started that night.

He’s always been an early riser but usually 5.30-6am. And usually wakes once during the night but this seems to be a LOT more than normal at the moment 😴😂

Doesnt seem to have any other symptoms at all at the moment and tells me he feels fine but just can’t sleep.

Nothing else has changed at home like room temp etc that could be waking him as far as I can see!

Has anyone else experienced similar as a vaccine side effect? It’s more likely just to be a random phase and be a coincidence that it started that day isn’t it? 🤔

Mine did this but it was with her baby vaccinations (all under 1). It was hell! Lasted about a week then slowly improved from there.

@Al991 I don’t remember DS being different during the night after any of his younger vaccines - but then he was an awful sleeper at the time anyway so maybe I just didn’t notice 😅😂
4am starts are meaning he’s already up 4 hours before nursery 😬 Then he’s very busy all day and doesn’t nap at all so come pick up time he’s overtired and emotional. We just seem to now be caught in an awful cycle that won’t break!
