My now 7yo did this as a toddler. It was only for 2-3 months at a time.

I taught him how to turn on the tv and left a favourite dvd in the machine in the end. Not ideal, but if I only had a couple of hours' sleep we had a tv day, so it worked out best in the long run.

You all have my sympathy and rest in the knowledge he was up at 6.45 this morning so lie ins can happen! DH plans revenge in our son's teenage years.
