  • my 5 1/2 yr old DS is going to sleep later and later and getting up way too early. We put him to bed around 8:15, but he doesn't fall asleep until 9 or 9:30 and lately he's been waking up before 6. Any suggestions?

    • does he nap at all, if so drop the nap (yes, some 5yo still nap). if no nap put him to bed at 7:30. Earlier to bed = later to rise. Sticker chart, he has to stay in his room till x time.

      • he does not nap. 7:30 is really hard because DH gets home around 7:15. But I think I know that that is really the answer. I'm just having a really hard time making that work. He adores his Dad and tries to squeeze out every moment he can with him.

    • 9 hours sounds about right to me,.

      • this is a recent thing and he's crabby so I don't think it is enough for him. I used to wake him up at 6:45 every morning and now he is often up before 6.

    • Is the something waking him up -- like the sun? a neighbor's alarm clock?
