[quote=Anonymous]DD, aged 5, has always been a great sleeper. 12 hours overnight and even at her age still naps a couple days a week. She sleeps from 7:00pm to 6:30am. For the last two months or so, she’s been waking around 3am, which must be the end of a natural sleep cycle, and coming into our room. She just quietly gets into bed between us. We give her a snuggle for a minute and then one of us takes her back to bed. She never argues and falls asleep as soon as she is tucked back into her bed.

DH thinks it’s harmless (and sweet) and even if it’s a little disruptive it’s not a big deal. But I often have a hard time falling back to sleep so it’s impacting my rest. And we ultimately want her to go back to being a totally independent sleeper in her own room through the night. Any good tips? Maybe a “stay in your room” sticker chart for rewards? Or am I blowing this out of proportion bc it’s not a “typical” sleep issue like refusing to stay in bed or crying when have to go back to own room? [/quote]
