Oh sleep issues abound and we've found in 7 years that they go in cycles with our son. He is right now asleep in our bed and we are still up. It is the only place he'll sleep at the moment. For a while it was the livingroom couch. Another month or two it was his new bean bag chair that, yes, he made into a kind of nest. Forts that he calls "caves" have had to be constructed over wherever he has been sleeping before he'll go to sleep and if it falls in the night, oh the wailing that ensues. So yes, if he'll sleep in his nest without a fight and stay asleep---more power to you. It might not last or even if it does what harm does it really do as long as he sleeps well and feels safe? We got our guy a weighted blanket that helps to keep him asleep when he's in his own bed (every few months we get him back to his room on a real bed for a while). Good luck!

I think that since sleep is so crucial and truly affects the rest of the day that if he finds comfort in nestng let him sleep on the floor. I think that maybe pulling the mattress into the floor and building him a even bigger "cooler" nest (let him help if he can)may be a good idea to try if he is open to it. Reality is our children are not like others (they are awesome) but have their "issues". Any battles we can avoid just gives us more energy to put towards the ones that really matter. At the end of the day it really just comes down to furniture lol. Sleep is far more important to both of you. I would just make sure he is clothed warm (drafts) and any other precautions you feel needs to be in place regarding his surroundings.

OMGosh. Your question describes my life and my sons nest sleeping perfectly!! I thought it was just me! He likes to nest in our living room. I am thinking of getting rid of his bed and making a big nest in his room on the floor. I used to fight it all the time, but don't anymore. Mostly just cause I'm too tired, lol

Chey has a weighted blanket. She weighs 39 lbs so i got a 7lb blanket from mosaic blankets. Or they have sensa calm. She loves it and it helps so much.

Im gonna try a weighted blanket, I think my son would enjoy that. Does anyone know where i can buy one?
