my dd is 3.9yr old and has always been a good sleeper, but in the last month it seems to be taking her a long time to get to sleep. she doesnt have daytime naps and hasnt for a long time, she wakes up anywhere between 7am and 8.30am. i am a shift worker so to an extent she has to fit in around me.
i take her up to bed at 7pm, toilet, brush teeth then story and i leave her then with bed time cd. some nights she will be asleep by 8pm, other times its 9pm and last night she was still awake when i left for work at 8.40pm. we had had some shouting and tantrums before i went. dh later rang me at work to say that she hadnt gone to sleep till 10.55. i am at my wits end. i dont think it has anything to do with me working nights because i have been since she was a baby. nothing else has changed in her life.
as you can imagine she is constantly sleep deprived and consequently her behaviour at times is unbearable. please help!!!!!
