Bedtime!

My daughter goes to bed at her normal time but then wakes up after 45mins/1hr and refuses to go back to sleep 🫠
She used to be such a good at sleeper and we never had an issue but since starting nursery it’s been such a struggle and constant wakings where she ends up sleeping with us

I do think starting nursery has something to do with it, we went away on holiday for a week after he had done 3 weeks at nursery and he slept like an angel the whole time and then back this week and it’s all gone funky again. The late bedtime is a new one for us, no idea what to do with him when he’s just waving and giggling at us from the cot 😅

We’ve had our bedtime moved to 8.30pm and night shortening to 10h just around around we turned 1. So our day is now 14h or slightly longer. I also spent considerable amount of time before bedtime preparing her for sleep so she realises she is tired.

I assume nursery can be very stimulating for your little one and he is probably extremely tired in the evening. So maybe worth doing a long wind down time before bed so he has time to process?
