I had a non-sleeper (no nap, fell asleep from exhaustion around 10ish woke up with the sun) and this worked for me. Keep a box of "special bed toys: soft hand puppets and board books" which you put beside her bed at bedtime. She can play with the toys only in bed. When she gets up in t he morning, take the toys away. Also, after she falls asleep at night, put a snack on her bedside table. A sippy cup of juice, a cut-up apple in a baggie, etc. When she wakes up early, she can eat her snack and play with her bed toys. This bought me an extra hour every morning.
