Thread: whats with the sleep?

MT has suddenly developed this inability to sleep, he just can't seem to get off at night

And then he can't wake up in the morning

Its driving us all mad - he is still awake now and has to be up by 7

He is really tired all day too

Any ideas?

whats he doing after school? whats his routine leading up to bedtime?
is he on the computer or games console or anything which might over stimulate him?

Is he worried/excited about anything?

bath, hot chocolate & a story @ night time?

Hmm, I have a theory ..

Initially try a routine, like GG suggests, and stick to it religiously.
When you say he's still awake quite late, is that in his bed, just lying there, or does he get up and come downstairs etc?

Odd as it might sound, you could let him stay up later, so that he is more tired when he goes to bed.
