3yo terrible sleeper

Hi! I thought I'd be past this stage by now but my 3yo sleeps about 8hrs at night between midnight and 8am and takes a big 2hrs nap in the daycare. I leave for work early, so I'm up by 6am. I feel like a zombie. I cannot go on from 6am till midnight without a nap which I cannot do. So exhausted. She's always been a bad sleeper. I tried talking to daycare to cut down nap time but they say they cannot change it. 😴 Does anybody have this problem? I guess I am only looking for solidarity at this point. I know I can't solve this problem. Just letting it pass.

Many daycares will let you have a cutoff for naps, limit them to an hour etc. Maybe try talking to them again? We also have a terrible sleeper, it's rough, hang in there!

I don't know if this is helpful or not but my daughter has a Tonie box by her bed that she often listens to after we put her to bed if she isn't tired enough to go to sleep right away. Maybe something similar would work for her.

Try magnesium lotion
