dd is 5 almost 6, went to sleep fine as usual, does wake up to go to toilet can be once a night sometime 4 times!..but doesnt have a lot to drink before bed, sometimes i think she just wants to get up?
She excellent every other way, just WONT sleep!
Nothing stresing her at home or school as far as i know, at 2am this morning, she needed loo..helped her and got back into bed, less than 5 seconds later.."i cant sleep"..i go in explain she needs to sleep, its the middle of the night, shell be tired for school and i need to sleep too..go back to bed..."i cant sleep"..go back in, say half annoyed half trying to remedy it, well dont go to sleep, you just lay in bed and think about nice things like holidays and your friends etc...go back to bed..."i cant think of any nice things to think about"!!...am getting annoyed..tell her so, and say i am going back to bed..cue crying....are you hurt/in pain/sad?.."no"..why are you crying (obv shes tired) "i dont know"...open door to bathroom so light shines into her room, tell ehr again i NEED to sleep, SHE needs to sleep, im getting cross and shes getting tired..back to bed.....................it went on like this till 4.30 when dp and i then had a row because he said i shouldnt 'jump#, even though HE is the worst for this and stayed in bed all this time, even though he does normally get up for her...i give up, go in, lay on dd's floor as shes crying hysterically now, for no reason other than shes tired but WONT go to sleep, she starts talking..i shout at her to go to sleep, dp THEn comes in, gets into her bed and as per usual , calms her down , cuddles up to her and at this point, exhausted and cried out she falls to sleep!
He went back to bed after a while, she woke back up.."can i get up".."is it morning yet"..she finally fell asleep at 5.55am and i had to get up at 6.10 for work
What do i do?, how can i resolve this????
