[quote=Anonymous]Normal. She will grow out of it. Sleep is a constantly moving target. You have to train yourself to fall back asleep easily. Something that helps me immensely is a night mask. If I get woken up in the night by one of my children, I put it on when I go back to bed and it forces me to keep my eyes closed and also the darkness can convince my body to go back to sleep. Do not, under any circumstances: have a conversation, look at your phone, get a drink or snack, turn on the lights. The other night our smoke alarm went off at 3am, and I woke up, addressed the issue, made sure there was not actually smoke or a fire, went into my daughter's room to check on her, calmed down her terror, laid next to her for about 10 minutes while she settled and fell back asleep, and then went back to bed and went to sleep. Slept for 3 solid hours. You will learn.[/quote]
