Tired

[Kyron]

I am so tired I can barely stand up. Besides working all of the overtime I can get, I've been helping out with the 2 year old who has decided he doesn't want to sleep at night. Both my wife and I have been taking turns but if he doesn't start sleeping all night soon, I may have to handcuff myself to him so I can sleep. Seriously though, how can I get my son to sleep? He's killing us.

If you have a good baby gate and a very secure room (depending if he is in a crib or not). You might just have to let him cry himself to sleep. I had to do this with one of my kids after I tried everything else and nothing worked. After a few nights it got easier and eventually he found a sleeping pattern.

I agree, getting him on a schedule will help. Also, things like not letting him take a nap too late in the afternoon. Maybe a good dose of physical play, followed by a warm bath before bedtime. Good luck.
