My son keeps waking at 5am (he's 21 months) He's wide awake and there's noway he's going back to sleep. He has a 2 hour nap 11-1 (ish) in the day. Last night bed time was 9pm. I've tried earlier bed times - so the day before he napped 10-12 and went to sleep at half 7. He did this is the summer for about 10 weeks but I could understand because it was light at that time. It then went back to waking at half 6 /sometimes 7 if we were lucky.
I tried capping his nap to an hour but made absolutely no difference apart from that he was miserable all day.
Do I just need to accept this is his wake him? I can't remember the last time I wasn't exhausted and drained. There's never enough time to get anything in the house done.
