    I literally posted the same thing yesterday only thing i could put it down was the sunrise as soon as sunrise bella would wake up crying and barking until i woke up and once i did she would curl up on the sofa and go to sleep after some advice yesterday i decided we would just ignore this morning well after 5-10mins at 4.05 am with no signs of stopping my husbamd switched on the hairdryer for about 10seconds....she stopped barking and laid down at our stair gate and then took herself back to her bed 1st morning in about 3/4weeks. Once he went to work at abt 5.30 she did the same i put the hairdryer on for 5seconds and said into ur bed and im currently writing this in the comfort of my bed while she is snoozing in her bed. After weeks of broken sleep amd being sleep deprived this is heaven! Not sure if she finds the hairdryer soothing like a baby does but whatever it is its worked this morn i was given quite alot of advice and info on my thread yesterday if mine doesnt help. Goodluck x

    This happened with us a while back when tatti was about 6 months. The first time it was because she wasn't well and needed the loo, then she realised that she would get our attention I think (and we were worried about her needing the loo) so it carried on.
    We trailed her sleeping upstairs with us (in her pen) after this and haven't looked back since. She gets up when we do now not the other way around :) it's the best decision we ever made- we all sleeep better together.

    We started off by letting Lilly out in the morning for a pit stop then allowed her on the bed. Got a few hours more sleep after that too
