My son is 4. He complains he cannot sleep because he cannot "turn off his brain". Luckily we homeschool so we can work around his schedule. Last night he was up for four hours after getting four hours sleep. He said he had to get up to work. We read, had a snack (banana and water),talked, and had computer time. He then asked to do some school work. Eventually he crashed (saying he needed some sleep while it was still night). I was then able to as well. My husband got up this morning with my eight month old since she got up an hour after I went to bed.
What do you do to help your children sleep? He knows it is night he is just wide awake. Same thing is going on tonight. He keeps saying thoughts are running in his head and he cannot sleep. He has always gone until he crashes but he used to sleep through the night once he feel asleep at 11.
