We were away for 5 days in a 3 hour time difference. We went west. PJ never got used to the time change so most nights he was getting 9 hours sleep (used to getting 12) and his naps were not great and certainly didn't make up for his lack of sleep. He was definitely exhausted by the time we got home. The first 2 nights he did ok, but fell asleep significantly later than usual, but then slept for 11-12 horus. His naps have frequently been a problem. He is on 1 nap a day and is doing 1 hour 20 min now and tired. I put him right back on his routine and falls asleep for bed rather easily but wakes up 30 min later either fussing, crying or playing. Usually the crying is very short, doesn't really even need my attention, as well as the fussing but they are always followed by playing. For up to 2 hours. It is now 9:15pm and he is in there having a good ole time. He first fell asleep at 7pm.
Our schedule is (that I am trying to get back on)
7am wake
12 nap for 2 hours on a good day
6:30-7 bedtime (varies based on nap length)
He is definitely still jet lagged. He is usually wakign up around 7, and very tired all morning. Has his naps and makes it to bedtime around 630-645pm. But then wakes up 30min later.
Is there anything I can do to help this along? we have been home a week.
Edited to add: it is now 10 pm and he is rocking his crib and chatting. HELP ME!
Thanks
Meg
