Wake 2 sleep question...please read and answer (quick)

[sbchic1999]

My DS has consistent 4 am NW's.  I did W2S at 3:00 am one night and while I think I woke him too much he did go back to sleep and sleep through till 5:45 am.  I failed to do W2S the next night but he slept through 4am and instead got up at 5am.  The next night he was up at 4:15 and then last night I did W2S at 3:15 and he was up anyways at 4:30am.  My question is---his consistent 4 am wake up has faltered a tiny bit to 4:15 or even 5 that one day.  Should I still do W2S at 3 or move it a little later?

Also-how much to wake him?  Same as in the daytime, just touch him so he flinches or something?

And BW book says to do W2S an hour before a NW.  That's right, right?  I feel like I have read an hour and a half too.

Any expereinces with this working long term?

Thanks

Roused him at 3 last night and he was still up at 4:25.  I will keep trying.  Not sure if I should still go in at 3 or go in earlier or later maybe.  I remember 1.5 hrs and just read somewhere about someone who went in 15minutes earlier than LO's habitual wake up time in the middle of the night.  We'll see...

My guess is play around with w2s times till u get it right! But sorry I haven't really got a clue
