Hi my 4 year old wakes up at 5am everyday and is super tired and cranky all day long. I put him to sleep early by 630 so he has enough sleep but it’s never enough. He keeps waking up early. Please could someone advise.
Hi there! This is a tough one. I have found early morning wakings to be the toughest habit to kick in the kiddos I have helped.
It may sound counterintuitive, but see if you can push that bedtime later. If he is waking up that early, he may need his bedtime to be adjusted to fit his circadian rhythm better. Try putting him to bed at 7, 7:30 and see what time he wakes up. He may need a few days to adjust.
Happy to help further if this isn’t helping.

thanks will try - it seems like no matter what I do he still makes up early and is super cranky
