My two under 5 year olds have always been early risers, but pre lockdown we'd just managed to get them into a routine where they woke around 6.30am. Over the lockdown period they've been taking longer to fall asleep and waking up earlier. They now wake at 5am everyday and it's killing me. Homeschooling is hard enough as it is, without feeling like you've been rudely awoken every morning. We've kept to their normal bedtime routine throughout lockdown. They do have blackout blinds (although because they don't like their doors closed it's never pitch black throughout night/morning), so it may partly be due to some summer light coming in. But it got me thinking, maybe they're just not as tired as they normally are because they're not doing as much? We do a bit of exercise everyday and they're doing bits of work, but maybe they just don't need that much sleep at the moment, because they're mostly at home. Anyone experiencing similar issues?
