Advice for a 2yo who does not sleep

Has anyone got any advice on toddlers who won’t sleep? My 2yo DS is an absolutely horrific sleeper, and seems to be getting worse rather than better if anything!

He’s just turned 2, self settles no problem at bedtime and nap time. Usually wakes up crying at 10/11ish, hit and miss whether he’ll be easily settled or get so hysterical he needs to come in with me. Will then either wake up crying a few times throughout the night or occasionally have two hours of being wide awake. Most nights recently he’s been in with me which helps but he still wakes up crying, it’s just he’s then easy to settle and I don’t have to get up. Usually awake by 5.30 (last week one morning it was 4.30).

He naps brilliantly (because he’s knackered) but has horrible purple circles under his eyes so I don’t think that he’s getting enough sleep and to be honest even if he is - we aren’t! I’ve been so cross and grumpy with both DC this weekend and I hate it but I know it’s because I’m exhausted.

Any advice welcome!
