HI J., when I put my son to bed at night, I usually have music playing in his room to drowned out some of the noise, this really helps a lot. I was also thinking could your son be teething? I know that my son has trouble sleeping at night when he is teething and if he hurts really bad I give him tylenol or Mortin and then he is out like a light. I was also going to tell you that I saw that the person under me wrote that children 1 and over don't sleep for more than and 8 hour period and that is not ture! My son is 2 and 1/2 and sleeps from 8 at night to about 7 or 8 in the moring. Sometimes he won't fall asleep until 9 and he still sleeps until 8 in the morning. Children usually sleep for 10-12 hours at night and then sleep anywhere from 1 1/2- 3 hours for their nap. I'm sure some of that changes when they hit 3 but even some children who are 3 still take naps. Your son is still little so he should be sleeping 12 hours at night. I hope this helps you and God Bless you and your family!
