We went through the same thing, we have given dd1 a torch and she keeps a book within reach of her bed. She also has a nightlight/soother that plays music that she uses and water. Since we introduced the torch she has stopped getting out of bed and will read until she goes back to sleep, now she gets up at 7.30. It's tricky with the bed time, our girls are in bed by 7.30pm, their dinner is 5.30 - 6.00pm, it was a bit later so dh could be there but dd1 would have meltdowns. I found later bed times just made her worse for some reason.
