Patrick woke up and was ready for the day. Oh, did I mention that when he does this, he's also cranky and ornry the rest of the day and it's obvious that he needed more sleep?
I managed to squeak another hour out of the situation, but this is ridiculous. Please help.

Is he hungry? Is his room dark? Is he taking too long of day nap? Is he coming down with something like molars? Are you putting him to bed at night too early like before 7:00? Put him down for bedtime like at 7:30 or 8:00p. Another option: Will he understand if you tell him, he can't come out of his room until you come and get him like 6:30 or 7:00a. You will have to remind him for few days, maybe do a chart with smiley faces or treats if he stays in his room. Then put him down for a nap in the morning like at 10:00a and let him sleep and that will space enough before having to go to bed at night. Good Luck.
our kids kept doing that too. We got a lamp and a timer and set it to turn on at what time was reasonable. We do 7:15 to 8:15 and then they can wake up when the light comes on. If they sleep longer I just open the door.
