4yo will not go to sleep at night

Currently sitting here in tears because i literally cant take anymore. Every night for months and months, my 4 year old daughter will not go to sleep no matter what. We always had her going to bed around 7.30 and we have to lie with her for at least 60-90 minutes plus as she wont go to sleep without us being there. She just lies with her eyes open and becomes defiant and awful to us.

Before anyone says that maybe shes not tired enough, she definitely isnt getting enough sleep as we cant get her to wake up in the morning and is constantly tired.

Im sick fed up of this. My husband has to go to bed around 9/9.30 as he's up for work at 4am. So it makes us like passing ships. We never get a single minute to ourselves and our marriage is suffering because of it. I cant take any more.

I dont know what to do. Everything feels awful at the moment.

As soon as they start school, things change. So see how you go until then
