Morning & happy Easter one & all. Can anyone help me get my 4 yo ds2 to stay in his bed all night? He shares a room with his older brother & has the bottom bunk. He claims the 'troublemaker' lives down the side of the bed nearest to the wall & every single night wakes up 2 or 3 times absolutely terrified & simply won't go back to bed or if he does he is awake again 20 mins later. He was up for 2 hours last night & I refused to get up anymore so he ended up sleeping on a pile of cushions on the end of my bed. He was awake full of beans at 6am. The tiredness is killing me! It's like having a new born again but I can't use that excuse at work, with ds1, the ironing, etc! We have tried sticker charts, special lavender sprays to get rid of nasties, doors & lights on everywhere, sympathy, firmness, rewards, everything. Nothing is working. He is a very bright bubbly preschooler who is very capable & not afraid of anything else. My hubby & I take it in turns to get up at night & lie in at the w/e but it's sapping the life blood out of us.what haven't I tried? Going to move the bunk beds today to give that a shot but I'm not hopeful. [Busad]
