Why the **** is my son awake?!

Yea I get irritated to sometimes when it’s the middle of the night but it’s ok just chill or play with him so he can get tired again

Have you tried a projector light? We got a cheap one that does a galaxy of lights on the ceiling. It helps for early wake ups and keeps my son occupied which will also send him to sleep again xx

he was up at one and didn’t go back to bed until 430
It’s irritating af because he fell asleep but kept waking himself up like why
He does this so often it’s infuriating!!!

we have that! He likes it so much he won’t sleep! Then I tried last night to keep him occupied and he started screaming and wouldn’t stop until we left the bedroom 🤦🏽‍♀️

I'd look at daytime sleep. He doesn't have enough sleep pressure if he keeps waking up so early and stays awake. It may be time to drop a nap or cap his daytime sleep under a certain amount of hours. Or it's time to push bedtime back to accommodate his wake windows.

Depending how old he is he needs to drop a daytime nap from 3 to 2 naps a day or 2 to 1 nap a day. Also don’t use any light stimuli at night like the lady above said. No projectors and no tv or phone in front of him before bed. Another thing is he is probably going through a sleep regression since he is waking up randomly at night for no reason but does it around the same time every night and that just has to run its course I know it’s hard but that’s how it is when they’re babies. I dealt with the same thing with my baby and I understand your frustration even now my baby is very hard to put to sleep and she wakes up in the middle of her naps multiple times sometimes unless I stay in there with her and let her sleep on me and I get overstimulated and angry sometimes you just have to put them down let them cry for a minute then come back if you need a breather or just sit there and let them ramble on till you can try again

he won’t stay in there he screams and screams until we remove him from the room entirely
We’ve tried letting him stay there but he won’t
So we’ve done zero stimulation still nothing
He’ll stay up the entire wake window regardless of what we do

he sleeps 2.5 hrs during the day
If we drop a nap he falls asleep anyways despite us trying to keep him up
Bedtime is already 1030
Earlier bedtime results in false starts and he sleeps past 11 if we move bedtime up

if we drop a nap he end up falling asleep which we think is for the night but it’s a false start and he wakes up and does an entire wake window anyways
