My daughter is 2 1/2, and she is only sleeping 5 or 6 hours a night, and she wakes up 1 or 2 times a night. She also is incredibly overactive. i have tried all sorts of routines, cutting out tv, making sure shes not getting junk food, herbal teas, aromatherapy, every suggestion from every parent and doctor, even a movie once every night at bedtime. every single thing worked for one or two days. then it would never work again. I even took her to a sleep disorder center last month. they told me it was a discipline problem. i could see why they would think that, because i have become so desperate for sleep that recently I will turn on cartoons and dose off next to her. But it wasn't always like that. She has been this way her whole life. she's mostly well behaved, (other than a few typical things) and she has always been on the quick side of developement, doing things very early. And boy is this kid smart! shes every parents dream....but the sleep! I don't know what to do!
