I think I might lose my mind. For the past 2-3 months my daughter has been sleeping through the night from 8:30pm-8:30am. We recently went to Hawaii where the time change was 6 hours behind. We’ve been home since saturday and getting her to sleep has been such a struggle. It’s 12:30 in the morning (which is 6:30pm in hawaii) and she will not go to sleep. The issue is once she falls asleep, she will sleep for 12 hours. So she’s going to sleep from 12:30(hopefully) till a little after noon. That’s not ok. I don’t know what to do. She will not go to sleep. We had such a good thing going and she was sleeping so well. I’m borderline crying listening to her scream so late at night.

@garay88, No it’s definitely because we went to hawaii. Right now it’s only 6:30 pm there. and she was going to bed at 8:00 there

Maybe take her somewhere like zoo etc. play with her. Go for a walk. Park. Something that will make her tired. Maybe she’ll fall asleep and wake up earlier.

You’ll have to sleep deprive her for a few days like nap wise

Maybe try adjusting her in small time increments from what she was doing in Hawaii. Like maybe try getting her to bed 15 min earlier every night. So if her natural clock is telling her bedtime is at 1230, just work with that for now and gradually adjust her back.

Tomorrow, you’re going to have to take away the closest nap to bed time. Whenever we need Salem to go to bed early, his second nap is taken away. She will likely be terrible tomorrow but after the next few nights her body will realize things are back to normal

You have to do everything you can to keep her up during the day when she try’s to go bed . No nap time at all . Keep her busy , take her out so she’s up and tired . Until your desired bed time , then fill her belly with mash potatoes, give her a bath , story time and she will be out like a light and she will get back on schedule. The next few days you will have to keep doing that and she will get back on it before the weekend is over .

@wafflespancakes, @oktoberwitch, @luv_2b_amomma, ugh guys she didn’t end up going to bed till 2:30 and then woke back up at 6am. I am SO exhausted. this is ridiculous

@jtaylorg, no that’s good! That means that if you keep her up and keep her busy, and put her down for 8:30 she will hopefully be out like a light

@oktoberwitch, usually one good nap (2-3 hours) and then she will sometimes take a mini nap. It’s 1:40 and I can tell she’s getting tired 😭

@jtaylorg, oh shit. Salem is still taking two naps so if something gets fucked up, I don’t let him take his second nap.

But, if you give her a nap now, for like 2 hours. I don’t see how she won’t be ready to sleep for 8:30
