[quote=Anonymous]My almost-5 year old has been an early riser (often before 6) and at newly 4, he was still waking up between 6-6:30 every day. Somewhere around 4.5, he all of a sudden started sleeping later. He is usually up by 7 but there are some days/weeks where it is closer to 7:30. He very rarely wakes up before 6:30, now -- knock on all the wood. I understand the frustration and hope, here, because as someone who was forced to wake up close to 5 or 5:30 for years, I was anxiously awaiting this moment. I can't say we did anything differently - it just happened naturally. In fact, we tried all the things - adjustment to his bedtime, his routine, his sleep environment, etc - and nothing worked, and it made me more frustrated. So, as annoying as it is to say, just be consistent and give it time. FWIW, we get him in bed by 7:45 but let him listen to podcasts until 8:30. He's usually asleep between 8:15-8:30, though.[/quote]
