If it was me I'd try the heating!! I'd try anything (almost) to get a good night!
Maybe some fleecy pjs?
I suggest to put her a heavier pj + socks and maybe reduce the number of blankets.
Thank you both
I'm going to suggest to her that she wears a cardigan tonight (on top of her vest+PJs). She's quite opinionated about what she wears but I think I might be able to persuade her to go for a cardigan (she's asked to wear one before at night time).
We might leave the heating on, although the night when she STTN (when the heating was on), I woke up at 3am cos I was too hot and had to go downstairs to turn it off
So maybe we'll try it on but a slightly lower setting.
I've been using a lavender room spray the last few nights, but haven't noticed any difference. It smells nice at BT but it's all gone by the morning, so I don't think it lasts long enough to have much lasting effect.
I'm tempted to try this though (once it's back in stock..):

Do you have a night light in the room? Try one? Or get rid of one?
Yes, she has a nightlight, which she asks me to put on each night. I could try turning it off after she's asleep and see if that helps.
Do you have a radio you can de-tune just to try out the white noise??
Or a CD player, you can burn free white noise (or pink noise or brown noise, or blue noise...) from various on-line sites onto a CD then play it on repeat.
will give this a go too.
I guess I should try these things one by one in a methodical manner, so I know exactly which thing helps! I'll start with more PJs/layers at BT, as it seems that heat helped once before.
I think some of the NWs are a bit habit now too, as they always seem to be at the same times. So might try waking her shortly after she nods off, like Ali suggested, to see if that can help "re-set" her too...
Thanks for all the ideas everyone. It's good to have a list of things I can try
