4 year old night wakes

So cute a very long story short my son is 4 1/2 and his sleep is getting worse (not that I thought it could get any worse to be honest)
He has never slept well so it's been awful every night for four years... yes I'm exhausted. He's just started school and now I'm like enough enough. I've tried sleep trainers in the past.. no luck.

He falls asleep fine every night (in his bed) but he wakes on average 15-20 times a night. When he wakes it's like a whinge/cry and does that untill we come in . He either says he wants his drink of water or he doesn't know why he's crying. I'm literally at my wits end I'm exhausted but also I want him to have decent sleep especially with starting school...

Has anyone had this? And manage to find a way of stopping the night wakes, I just feel like I've tried everything out there but I'm literally an exhausted mumma that is completely desperate 🙏🏻

Have you tried giving him a banana or some porridge before bed? Someone suggested it for my child and it cut the number of night wakes down dramatically
