My miss three doesn't day sleep as a rule. We encourage/enforce quiet time and this is 30 mins to an hour after lunch. We're putting her to bed around 7:30/8ish and she wakes between 6 - 7am.

Lately, we've been having trouble with "I'm not tired." She's a massive procrastinator - she goes to the toilet, asks for water, asks for the light to be on, undresses herself etc. If she is tired, she just goes straight to bed without dramas. She's always been a good sleeper and i genuinely believe she isn't tired. It's actually worse on kindy days as I think she does rest/lightly sleep there for an hour or so. She goes to bed without complaint and even tells us "you can go and do your jobs now" but just lies there singing or talking and after a while starts kicking the wall and then she's up and out of bed. If we tell her to stay in bed she cries until we go in and then she tells us she's hot/thirsty/bored/not tired blah blah.

DH and I have been wondering if we should just let her stay up or give her books to read in bed? DH isn't a huge fan of either.

Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts?
