Spiderman used to be good for 11 straight hours too. However, for about the last three weeks he has been waking up between 2 and 3AM, coming in my room and announcing "I can't sleep. My eyes won't stay closed." I know I should get out of bed, walk him to his room, tuck him back in his bed, and reassure him that he can sleep in his room. But at 2AM it is all I can do to mutter "Get under covers. Don't kick dog. Go to sleep." Which he does, and is snoring in less than five minutes. And the dog moves from the foot to the top of the bed and sleeps on my head!
I leave a nightlight on, a cup of water by the bed, and a little midnight "snack" if he wakes up hungry. (He always eats the snack before he comes in my room.) ANY ADVICE? The dog and I would both appreciate it!
