Sleep

Is there some kind of 3 year old sleep regression I didn't know about? Last 4 nights in a row my son has come into bed with us around 3am, sometimes he'll take an hour or so to go back to sleep other times he'll go back pretty quick but then he's awake at 5am. He doesn't nap during the day, except a 20 minute car nap if we happen to be out. He used to sleep in a pretty good routine 8pm to 6am, I know that's less than recommended but it worked for him and he physically would not go to sleep any earlier even if I took him up to bed at 6pm. I don't know what's changed. He has a thicker duvet since the weather has changed so he can't be cold. He tells me the skeletons and ghosts are waking him up. I really don't know what to do.

Awwwh poor thing. Sounds like he is having bad dreams

I think we’re going through the same, except my daughter wakes crying as if she’s crying in her sleep too! I hope it passes soon, as it’s tough with a 4month waking in the night too! x

Defo a regression for us at the moment and it is a thing

This is happening on & off for us too - wakes around 2am & takes a while to get back to sleep. Yesterday she told me ‘it’s the morning, mummy’ 🤭

Yes there is a 3 year sleep regression
