Daylight Savings JUST messing with DS's sleep! HELP!

mbeard320 · March 2012

Apparently DS JUST realized that daylight savings hit. He is being a total goober and hyper at night and not going to sleep until 11pm. His normal bedtime was 9:30pm! Getting him to bed last night at 11 was even a task. He threw a HUGE fit and threw everything out of his crib. (He's a little dramatic sometimes).

His naps are actually doing MUCH better since daylight savings which is weird. He is napping for at least an hour now 3 times a day.

How should I go about getting him back to bed at 9:30?? Should I just put him in his crib at that time and use the CIO method??

Are any other moms experience sleep troubles after Daylight Savings???

Id try & make sure he sticks to the same schedule he had before. Napping more during the day might be why he's staying up later.

I don't think I'd do CIO if your LO just isn't tired. We usually put LO to bed at 8. The first night we did 8:45, then 8:30, then 8:15 and the plan tonight is 8. I remember reading somewhere to change bedtimes 15 mintutes at a time. So far it has worked for us, but his naps are still a little wonky.
