You really need to start setting up a very simple yet effective routine and stick with it no matter how hard it will get for you. As an example...if you want to set her bedtime at 8pm, you would start calming her down at around 6:30-7pm. No more rough play, only quiet play like playing with dolls or coloring, etc. or even watch a movie. At 7:30pm have her put her pjs on and get her bed ready (like fluff her pillows, etc). At around 8pm have her use the toilet or brush her teeth and then lay her down. Either read her a story or rub her back or head. Make her feel relaxed. Whisper to her that she is such a great girl for going to bed like a big girl, etc. Stay in there with her until she is really relaxed and comfy and then tell her "good night" and you will check on her in a while. If she gets out of bed, you firmly put her back to bed. No exceptions. She has to stay in bed. She will scream, cry, throw tamptrums, fight, etc. but you have to remain calm and firm and continue to put her to bed. it will be hard in the beginning, but once she realizes you will not let her have her way, she will stay in bed. Patience is key! Good luck!!!

hi it truly is an fairly rocky highway yu are going on i did this with my son and he never have been given out of my mattress until ultimately he became 7 yrs previous! And wager what me and his Dad are no longer to any extent further at the same time... I now have a 2 year previous and he or she has been going to her own mattress at 7.30pm each and every night. A recurring of a heat tub and then we study 3 books i sing hr a song and kiss her goodnight and pass away the room. however the project is getting him to this point so i advise making a wee mattress next to you the two before everything and then shifting it to his room and making it an extremely interesting place to sleep, then doing the recurring alongside with the controlled crying (shop putting him back to mattress) it ought to take each and every week or so and is fairly very annoying besides the shown fact that it is going to paintings in case you persist. desire this facilitates

Your child is overtired, and until she starts getting about 11 hours of sleep a day, she'll keep this up. I highly recommend the book "Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems" by Richard Ferber -- it helped us through this same issue with our daughter.

Establish a bedtime. Put her into her own bed at that time. She may cry for a couple days but shell eventually calm down and start falling asleep and staying asleep by herself. If she gets out of bed walk her back to her own bed. You can stay there until she falls asleep but let her know that its time to sleep and that she has to fall asleep in her own bed.

my neighbor uses some homeopathic remedies to get her boys to sleep. there's an herbal supplement called zija and also you can give her a tiny bit of melatonin. my neighbor has two autistic boys and it's hard for them to go to sleep and stay that way. this helps greatly. it was also backed by her dr. i hope this helps.
