My DS is recently 4. He has always gone to bed at 7ish and gone to sleep within 15 mins or so. At the moment he is faffing about, thinking of reasons to get up, calling out, playing with toys anything but sleeping. Pretty much every night for a few weeks he has fallen asleep between 8 and 8.30, getting up at the usual 6.30. He is totally fine during the day, not sleepy or grumpy, but to me it just seems a bit short to need only 10 hours sleep at 4?
DD is 6 and has always needed a lot of sleep so she needs to be in bed by 7.30 and gets up at 7 but I'm starting to think he needs less sleep than her.
Is this a normal transition at this age? I can't bare the faffing about but I also don't want him to miss out on sleep he needs.
He already goes to a full time school nursery class, does swimming and lots of activities so I think he's sufficiently busy and should be tired!
