Having had some major sleeping issues with DD1, we thought we'd finally craked it over hte Easter holidays, with loads of downtime and some time awway from home. We were blessed with a whole week of her sleeping through, and not waking at silly o'clock in the morning. Now, whilst we are not back at square one, as the night terrrors seem ot have gone, we have had some dreadful nights and is overtired again, but not sleeping. This has been since going back to school so the vicious circle of being worn out but then not sleeping so being more tired, has started again.
SHe goes to sleep no bother, but is either up and adown in the night, or shouting/crying out, and then up early. Her behaviour is foul but she cant see the porblem, obviously, as she is 4 1/2!!
I've tried the rapid return but I usually crack and spout at her, as she seems to leave it about 1/2 an hour, when we are just falling asleep again, befiore bursting into our room.I am just soo tired.
can anyone offer any advice please?
