I feel like Avian doesn't get enough physical activity, he never seems tired by the end of the day. His bed time is supposed to be 8pm but he'd be up till 10pm or later if I let him. He wakes up at 8 am and normally has an hour or so nap in the afternoon. Also there's no question about removing his nap or shortening it as that brings out a demon toddler. Idk. It just doesn't seem normal for him to be up like 13 hours a day. He's a very shy timid boy and he's not running around and climbing like others close in age. I just feel like he's not active enough to tire himself out. I try take him out to the library and swimming etc but it doesn't really seem to help. :/ Idk. Thoughts?

Have you tried waking him earlier? That way you could move his nap up a bit earlier and have a longer stretch between nap and bedtime.

@ekko tbh 8am is earlier. He actually used to sleep in until 9/930 some days so he's already awake another hour plus than he was like a month or two ago

What time is his nap?

@ekko varies somewhat depending on if we go out during the day. Usually falls asleep anywhere between 1 and 2pm. The other day he napped from 1:15-2:30pm and at 8:30pm he was still "bouncing off the walls"

I guess I could try waking him earlier I just don't really want to be up before 730/8am 😂😂😂

I would suggest waking him earlier and getting him down for his nap earlier... more like 12:15-12:30. I would also suggest keeping a consistent schedule for wake up time, nap time, and then bedtime.

Two of mine were like this, still are actually. They are bouncing off the walls but actually overtired and will not calm down until they fall asleep.

@ekko it is consistent

Oh okay. You said it varies somewhat so that’s why I suggested consistency.

I would say wake him earlier in the day. He might be waking earlier then he use to, but he is probably just needing less sleep.
