Hello,
My daughter has started sleeping much less at night going from 11-11.5 hrs nights to 10-10.5 hrs. We moved two months ago and pretty much since then she's slept less. Since it's summer it's pretty bright at her bedtime, which is or has been around 19.00 asleep by 19:20. Her room is pretty dark so I don't think it's that or at least not the main reason.
She slept until perhaps 6.30 this morning, which was late for her. She's been waking up at 5.45 am and sometimes 5.30 most mornings lately. Tonight I put her down later at 19.20 and she's been calling me in there to sing to her several times. At least she doesn't leave her bed. It's now 19.55 and she is quiet.
She's always needed much sleep and OT has always led to early mornings before, but now if I put her to bed early she doesn't go to sleep anyway and/or she just wakes up even earlier the next morning.
Can it really change this quickly? My 5-year old still sleeps 10.5-11 hrs a night. At this age I think he still slept 11 hrs at night.
She has a gro clock but she doesn't stay in bed in the morning. She gets up and watches tv. I'm thinking about not letting her watch anything in the morning just to see if that will help, but she used to watch tv in the morning even when she was sleeping later.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
