My LO is 3 and has always had a hard time settling down at night and going to sleep but lately it's been more extreme. It's not so much as hyper, but more awake than I think she should be at 8:30 at night. It took two hours for her fall asleep last night! We do a night routine but it's not super strict. She does eat a bedtime snack but it's usually something like pretzels or crackers, maybe I should cut the snack to an earlier time? She usually has it around 7:00. She is constantly saying she is hungry though. I know some of it is stalling but I would love to get the bedtime routine plus fast asleep down to about 30 minutes, if possible.

Any tips on getting LO to settle at night and get into sleep mode instead of play mode? She doesn't nap and is awake by 8:30am usually if that helps.
