Drastic change in sleeping

My two year old has just moved to a big boy bed and along with it has started to wake up at 4am and is ready for the day. He has always been a really good sleeper and like a lie in. It’s really effecting his behaviour as he is clearly very tired. Any tips to help him would be great 😊

Find out exactly what's different about the sleep space to pin down what could be waking him up.

  • mattress - softer or harder maybe, try a different one or a topper etc
  • blankets/duvets - is he cold? Can he go in a sleeping bag again? Are they scratchy, rough or different to the touch?
  • is it bigger? Does he roll more? Hit his arms/legs on the wooden bits etc
  • is he at a different angle so he can now see light from outside the window, hallway, etc? Is something casting a shadow?
