In bed on time and awake for an hour: sometimes it is tomorrow, not the routine
An hour of lying awake, stomach aches or headaches with no fever, all of it worse on Sunday evening - that pattern is anxiety, not a schedule problem.
"Don't think about it" does nothing. Emptying the head before bed does: a short talk at dinner, a list for tomorrow, the school bag packed. Keep the bedroom for sleeping, not for sorting out problems. More than a month of it, or refusing to go to school - see a psychologist.

sunday nights are rough for my class too. idk how many monday mornings start with 'my tummy hurt all night'. the packed bag thing helps more of them than you'd think
Our kid packs her bag at dinner now like it's prep before service. Ten minutes of setup and she's out by nine 😂
Prep before service for a school bag, I'm stealing that 😅
