DD has always been a very good sleeper, from a very early age. If anything, we usually have to wake her in the morning to get to sleep.
For the past 2 weeks, she has been waking for at least an hour, from around 2am. She is wide awake, and calls out to everyone in the house, waking everyone up. She says she does it as she does not want to be the only one awake. As soon as I comfort her, I go upstairs, back to sleep. However, just as I am drifting off, she calls out again, wanting to make sure that I am not asleep. Over the two weeks, I have taken her into the spare room twice, due to DH having important early meetings at work. I do not want to make a habit of this, so that she learns to get back to sleep. DH is going to start spending the nights at his parents as he is exhausted for work. We are all exhausted, and I don't know how we can address this.
I saw the Dr who suggested milk and anti histamine, but this has not worked at all. As time gets on, she is getting more alert when she wakes.
Has anyone been through anything similar, and if so, what did you do?
