I'm OP. She watches about 10 hours of tv a day. Do you think that might be the cause?

Also, did you breastfeed? And did you have a csection or deliver vaginally? Did you have an epidural?

I would consult a sleep specialist and possibly discuss this with her pediatrician.

Weighted blanket.

Have you spoken to the pediatrician about it?
How is she during the day?
It may be time to consider having her evaluated for something other than sleep.

Have her checked for ear infection and reflux.
rule out teething.
Try the sippy cup of water.

Depending on her communication skills see if you can figure out if there's something scaring her.

The screen time is not such a crazy question. OP's situation seems just beyond a toddler waking fussy at night. We know screens can contribute to difficulty falling and staying asleep. We know she watches hours of TV at night when she wakes, so if she getting a lot of hours during the day it may be a contributory factor.

How is your daughter's communication overall? Are you able to talk to her during the day and she understands you, you understand her? Is she able to self-soothe during the day? IT might help to practice some calming and soothing techniques during the day, that you can turn to at night.

No nap and 9:30pm bedtime. Sucks for the parents but only thing that worked for my child. She was an awake baby even in the hospital. They said she was the most awake baby they had seen. At 3 she would be the life of the party at weddings. All the other kids would've crashed out by 10pm, and she'd be going strong having the BEST time until we left at 1 or 2.

I think OP was joking, because it’s sort of an insulting question.

Not OP but my 2 year old does the same.

Honestly none of these suggestions seem that helpful, which makes me think that this is actually a semi-impossible problem to solve.

In my case, I’ve already tried night light/white noise/Tylenol (for molars)/melatonin/etc.

I’m totally open to co sleeping but my child never goes to sleep, he just wants to keep interacting/playing and will literally jump on the bed all night and never go back to sleep.

The sleep ticket or sticker chart would never work on my 2 year old. He’s only recently turned 2 and doesn’t understand consequences or rewards beyond the immediate moment.

So if we go to a doctor, what will they offer us? I’d be surprised if they have any magic we didn’t try yet.

If I had a kid jumping around wanting to play at 2am I'd probably give him half a baby benadryl.

Yes I am a very bad mom

I had one of these but not quite as bad. I remember a GF telling me she was having a hard time getting her 3 year old to nap. I asked if he was ready to drop the nap, but she said he sleeps for three hours. I was like THREE HOURS?!?!?!?! My then 2 year old would sleep 45 minutes if I was lucky. People just don't get how hard it is. I had soooooo many cold cups of coffee. I couldn't make coffee and enjoy it during his newborn naps. I stopped complaining to people because they literally just didn't get it. I would get dirty looks from people with my kid awake at 9pm.

They have sleep sacks that work for toddlers that are lightly weighted. I think weighted blankets are great and this might help.
