[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who suggested not to wake him. He's tired; he needs his nap. I would be grumpy too if someone woke me up. [/quote] If my DS (also 3) is allowed to sleep, he sleeps for 3 hours and then --literally--will not to bed until 10:30, which means the next morning at 7 (we have to be up in order for me to get to work), he's miserable. However, I was interested to read on this post about "sleep inertia" that it can be mitigated with increased light 30 minutes prior to waking. My guy likes to nap in 45 minute cycles, so I've been waking him after 1.5 hours. I do notice on cloudy days he much worse. I will try turning on his lights after 75 minutes and see if it helps him...[/quote]
