Maggie settles into our bed at night and goes right to sleep with us around 11pm. She sleeps through the night and wakes at about 6:30am on the dot, ready for breakfast and play time.

HOWEVER, for the last 2 weeks she has been falling asleep like normal but then she wakes up around 1or 2am wanting to play (licks my face, prances around the bed, paws at my husband and i)...I try to snuggle her back under my arms and sometimes she settles back down, but then she will be back up around 4...and then 5...same routine, I am not sure what to do. She is 4 yrs old and potty trained. She gets three walks a day and also plays...so I don't think I need to run her more. I tried ignoring her but she just goes bonkers, so the last fews nights I try and keep her in bed until attest 4am...then I take her downstairs, feed her, and I sleep on the couch while she plays. This new little routine of hers NOT making me a happy mommy - I am so exhausted. Any suggestions?
