Ds always wakes up between 8 and 9, no matter how early or late he goes to bed. HIm waking up so late means that he isn't ready to nap until late. I aim to have him asleep for his nap by 2, but sometimes it is later. So then it is hard to get him to sleep before 9 or 10, sometimes later.
I would like him to have an earlier bedtime, but am struggling with how to do so. Whenever I get him to bed early, he still sleeps in, so then we are still stuck with him not being ready for a nap until late in the day.
What I am wondering is, what is the best way to change ds sleep patterns so that he is going to bed earlier? My only thought is to start waking him earlier, but I hate waking up sleeping babies/children. And it seems to be his natural wake up time since he always wakes up at the same time.
Is there anything else I can do to establish an earlier bedtime with him?
