I totally feel your pain. DC is 8 1/2 and STILL has sleep issues... Never required the amount of sleep that most children that age do, says "can't turn off mind at night", just... takes a while to sleep! I've gotten books about sleep to help ("what to do when you dread the bed")... worked for a while, but then was right back. I told my DH now that school has started, it's like the stimulation of being back at school has made DC's mind hard to turn off at bedtime again! DH is like that too, so, I am not expecting it to go away any time soon (if ever!) Even as a baby, DC sleep much. Doc said... must not require a lot! Too alert to everything! smile
