We have a routine, dinner at 6, followed by bath, lights dimmed around 7, story and in the crib between 7 and 8. We try so hard to wind down, but DS will be in his crib playing, talking, running back and forth till 11. He will be up again to play at 5 and is up for the day, and I can get maybe a two hour nap in.
What to do? I know his brain needs more sleep, can't force him to though! |

| Is it improved if he's in bed AT seven rather than before 7 or 8? I'd try that first. He sounds like he's beyond over-tired. He should probably be getting around 13 hours of sleep daily. And I'd do the same with nap-- I'd put him down for his nap *earlier* than you think he needs it. |
