5am every morning and working full time. Falling apart, please help!?

My 18month old has never slept past 6am in his life, it’s usually 4am or 5am and that’s him for the day, wide awake and I’ve tried sleep coach apps and various methods. Treated it as a night wake and so on, kept to the same night time routine and times as well as possible. My partner and I both work full time and we are absolutely losing it 🫠 Are we doomed to this life or will we see a full nights sleep ever again 🤣😅!?

We're in the same boat. Unfortunately i don't have a solution. I'm just going to try going to bed earlier so I get a bit more sleep.

This was my life… my little one has just turned 22months and only just starting to sleep in until 6-6:30. It’s ridiculously hard and you have my every sympathy because I could have broke at times. I would say… as soon as they are down, bath/shower and get to bed. The extra difference will help and as I’ve been told “it’s not forever” apparently.

Yes I’m a very similar situation, we just go to bed at around 9.30 now 😂🤪

Have you tried cutting his daytime naps shorter and putting him down to sleep later at night? (My son goes to bed at 10pm, sleeps till 9am and has 1 nap which is 1,5-2 hours long)

We’ve tried going from two naps to one but it’s tricky to keep him up when been up since 4, he has a 2 hour nap yesterday and we kept him up half an hour later, about 8pm by time finished his bath etc but still 4am 🥴x
