4 yo does not understand- you got to close your eyes to get back to sleep at 4am… who has this problem?

My 4 nearly 5yo understands perfectly & can & has done it on his own, he’s just decided he’d rather not do it anymore. My hubs puts him to bed in his room, then when he wakes up & crawls in bed with us it’s my turn to lay next to him. Even nuttier, mine doesn’t want anyone to touch him while he’s sleeping or “trying” to sleep, but he wants us there, so all we can do is lay next to him & either sleep & hope he sleeps or pretend to sleep so he goes to sleep. For a while there we’d hear his door alarm, goes off in our room, not his, but he wasn’t coming to our room, he’d go pout on the couch until we came to get him, it was so sad, we kept telling him just open the door & come in our bed, once he finally came in on his own he was so proud of himself that we didn’t have the heart to send him back, so now he puts Gordy on the bed, goes pee, crawls into bed & looks at me w/a “I did it” look.🤣

same my 3 year old wakes up so easily and really early he just woke up a little bit ago while i was mid doing laundry. i usually tuck him in by letting him count down from 10 and i throw the “magic blanket” over him, so i took him back to bed and offered magic blanket and he just shook his finger at me like no☝🏼 😂😭 i woke my mom up so he could cuddle with her cuz i gotta finish this laundry it’s almost 3 am😭
