😪please help I am genuinely at my wits ends and do not know what to do.
My DD was previously a good sleeper from toddler years she had a set routine she went down easy and stayed asleep. Fast forward to six she started waking earlier but now since turning seven in April it has been a nightmare! She refuses to sleep without her light on if I turn it off when she sleeps she’ll wake up and turn it on. She doesn’t want the night light or lamp has to be the main light. Along with that she keeps coming into my bed I end up carrying her to her room.
I’ve tried to reset the routine once picked up from school straight to bath and dinner the relax for a little then do bedtime stories etc. eg today this takes us to 7.30/8pm she woke up at 3am and only went back to sleep at 5.40am after a complete meltdown.
I’ve tried herbal sleep teas, later dinner, lavender spray. I’m at my wits end and so tired it is making me miserable. Has this happened to anyone else or any suggestions?
thank you if you’ve tease this far!
