Ds has had a rough week. Waking Up to early leads to worse behaviors and exhaustion by the end of the school day. He fell asleep at 4 PM and slept for an hour, which I had to wake him. I had him jump on his trampoline and do some gymnastics stuff for a half hour and he fell asleep at 9pm. He is usually out by 8. Then he awoke early and was hyper. When he usually wakes early it seems he shoes signs of a poor nights sleep.
Tonight I will try to skip a nap but he will be horribly mean and will probably be ready for bed by 6:30, but my husband complains that I put him to bed too early. But he usually is sleep deprived through the week. Weekends he sleeps to 7:30 or 8:00, occasionally later.
So besides exercise, (which is hard when it's cold and wet) are their meds or all natural things to help improve sleep quality? Excluding melatonin?
