Hi,
As I’ve said in my other post I’m struggling with my 3 yr old at the minute with waking early. I’d be ok with this if it didn’t result in her being so very tired and grumpy all day and this really makes my anxiety rocket, so I’m looking at ways to possibly help her sleep longer.
I was looking at another post on this forum, dated last year sometime, in relation to someone trying to help move bt/wu time.
It was suggested to try and push bt way past their normal bt by well over an hour, in stages obviously, with the aim of forcing a later wu. This person stated that this worked for her son, after a short period of ot. She then gradually brought bt back to the chosen bt, this lengthening the night.
I feel we are stuck in a mad ot/ut loop and with my anxiety issues I’m really struggling. It’s affecting my sleep and I’m in my knees, I’ve cried at work this morning
I have approached my Gp re my anxiety as I feel I need to try meds again to help things before they escalate any further as I can’t see an easy solution to these ewu’s.
We have a reward box but then I’m struggling when to reward as she will stay in her bed until get up time. It’s just the waking early and bad moods that are getting me down. I know there are others struggling with worse but I am really anxious.
I’d love to know if anyone else has tried this approach successfully.
We have pushed bt back these last couple of days ready for the clock changes.
She’s always been a mega sleeper so this is a massive shock to both our systems. She’s also stopped being dry overnight. We were at the point of no pull ups and now she’s mega wet every night.
Hope I’m not missing anything major with her 😢
