Me too! Toddler's boundless energy and loud antics can certainly test one's patience. Finding ways to catch some shut-eye amidst the chaos is a worthy pursuit.

Create a soothing bedtime routine that prepares your tot for sleep and signals to their body that it's time to wind down. This could include quiet activities like reading, listening to calm music, or taking a warm bath. Keep the room dark and avoid any stimulating activities right before bed.

Also, consider creating a rewarding ritual after they sleep well. Something simple, like a special sticker on the calendar or an exciting high-five in the morning, can encourage them to look forward to their bedtime and develop positive associations with sleeping.

Consistency is key! Keeping a fixed bedtime, nap time, and morning routine helps your child's internal clock regulate more effectively. It also makes it easier for them to adjust when those inevitable sleep disruptions happen.

Finally, make sure your tot has a cozy bedroom that invites sleep. Consider the temperature, keep the room cool but comfortable. Black-out curtains can help on those bright summer nights and make the room nice and snug.

Some great advice here!

We've had success with a sticker chart - each night he gets his sticker, chooses where it goes, and we talk about what a fantastic sleeper he is. He gets so excited about it and it's adorable! We also make a big deal of opening the curtains and greeting the new day together in the morning which he seems to really enjoy too - definitely worth trying!

We've found keeping the routine simple works best; after his bath, pyjamas on, story (or two...), and then into bed for some quiet time with some relaxing music playing low.

The bedroom is a nice cozy space, we invested in some good black-out curtains which have made a big difference, especially during the long summer evenings. He's also got a comfy mattress and plenty of cuddly toys to snooze with!

It's so pleasing when all your efforts pay off and they get a good night's rest - here's to many more sleeptastic nights!

Don't be too hopeful, there's no one size fits all solution. Every kid is different, and what works for one might not work for another. You'll be lucky if you figure out something that helps though.
