About 1-2 times a week, I wake up to find DS downstairs, watching TV or on the computer. I have him trained to remember the numbers on the clock on the stove, and it's usually around 3am when he gets up. He gets himself some yogurt or cereal and has breakfast. He says he just can't get back to sleep, so he goes downstairs.
Some days, he falls asleep about 5:30 or 6. Other times, he makes it to bedtime, which is 7-7:30. He doesn't nap, even on those early morning days. His normal wake-up time is about 6-6:30, so this is about 3 hours early.
I don't know what is causing his wakefullness. If I or DH hear him going down, we'll go down with him and lay down on the couch. We've tried to get him back to sleep, but he's really wide awake.
Any ideas what we could try to eliminate this? It's not a big problem, as he doesn't seem too affected by a short-night sleep, but I think it's not good still.
