My son has croup, he went to bed at midnight on Saturday night due to being in A&e. He woke up 9.30am on Sunday then went to sleep 6pm-8.30pm and then was awake until 10.40pm coughing. He has been asleep since then with the occasional wake during the night due to coughing. He is still asleep at 11.15!
He usually sleeps 7.30pm- 6.45am with no nap in the day.
Should I wake him up?

I personally would let him sleep :) we've had nights similar (my daughter has suspected asthma) and the nights especially after A&E she's wiped out so id just let him be :)

I would just check there's so sings of struggling with breathing, otherwise yea I'd leave him :)

Yeah my daughter has had croup twice recently and a chest infection. She was sleeping 13/14 hours over night, and tbh still is sleeping about 13 hours now. The night we got home after a night stay she slept 7pm to 1030 am. It wears them out being so ill and coughing is draining in itself. Hope he feels better soon x
