My DS (3 yr 9m) refuses to go to sleep until after 11, sometimes as late as 2am. He's never gone to sleep early, even as baby. He has his own bed in his room which he likes and generally sleeps well once he's down but I'm exhausted.
His dad can't help as he's recovering from a stroke so just can't sit up with him until he finally gives in and goes to sleep.
We do calm time, stories, I will go to bed with him etc etc but he's just having none of going to sleep any earlier.
It makes no difference whatsoever if he naps or not.
A friend suggest melatonin but I'm not keen (although I'm getting to the point where I'd try witch doctors if I thought it'd work!).
Any ideas??
