I know there are a lot of parents on this board. So I am looking for some advice and suggestions with a problem with our 5 year old.

My daughter is having trouble sleeping and it is driving us insane. I have to control the Hulk inside when I am awoken several times through the night. It is wearing both myself and my wife down as it has been going on for 2 months or so.

I can understand why she is having trouble sleeping as she has just started ECS, catching the school bus, making new friends etc.

What I don't know is what to do to help her sleep. We have 1 hour of delays from bedtime being declared 8.30pm to when she falls asleep, followed by several times of her waking up every few hours. We have been talking to her to find out whats wrong, but nothing seems out of place really. She is a healthy super kid otherwise.

Any advice, tips would be greatly appreciated.
