My 4 yr old boy slept at 12 midnite daily
- Thread starter movenpick
- Start date
My boy dun like naps so need to force him to take naps which will be 30 mins to an hour at the most. No matter what time he sleeps, he always wake up at 0700 hrs sharp daily. He doesn't like childcare centre and I suspect he wants to catch me before I go to work, to cry and plead against going to school.

Hi,
Before going to bed what is he doing? And is the adult asleep also? If adult not asleep so will the children.

Hi All!
My boy used to do the same thing... sleep past midnite and get all cranky wen he needs to wake up for childcare at 6.30am.. afew months back a mummy from this forum recommended using Lavender essential oil from Young Living. And it works very well for both my kids, 4yo & 2yo. I juz apply a drop each behind their ears and on their pillow.. it calms them dwn and relaxes my 2 hyper kids. I apply it for them at abt 8.30pm and by 9pm their would hv toned down and i gently bring them to bed with their milk and they relax and by 9.45pm they are sound asleep. Huge fan of these Young Living oils now!

maybe it's the way ur kid's bedroom is arranged.. make sure there's no light creeping into the room.. like street lights, etc. buy heavier curtains.
maybe using relaxant scents in the room or playing soothing music will help too? just a few suggestions off my head..
but sleeping too late is not a good habit to develop so try to help him kick it :/

sometimes it's not because of biological reasons (e.g. eating sugary stuff before bed, or light coming into your room) but because of emotional reasons, according to my experience. my youngest kid used to have problems sleeping also if i or my hubby don't tuck her in. hope everything will be ok for you and your little one, movenpick.

My 3 year old boy is like that too. He will sleep about 11 plus. So I don't let him take a nap. If he doesn't nap in the day, he will sleep at 8pm! Isn't that wonderful??
Make sure that your child stop eating and drinking sweet things at least 2 hours before bedtime. That means after dinner, no more snack. When you have decided on a bedtime timing, be consistent. Never ever change the timing even if it is just 1 day. If your child responds better to routine, then you have to be consistent. Let's say you set the bedtime at 9pm. 9Pm, you have to go in to the room with your child. Change pyjamas, off the light. Tell him it is bedtime. Don't let him go out of the room. You might need to deal with whining and crying for a few days or maybe a few weeks. But after that it should be fine
