No, i am not american and I don’t know if this is even a meme or not. If that’s the case sorry

I’m at my wits end. I don’t know what else to do. This is Jack, he’s a bit over a year old, and he will not let us sleep.

• He’s not looking for attention because once one of us gets up, he just fucks off to do whatever and reappears the second we try and fall asleep on the couch or go back to bed.
  
• We have an automatic feeder that goes off twice overnight.
  
• He has two sisters and countless toys to play with.
  
• We’ve tried keeping him up during the day, doesn’t work.
  
• Tried tiring him out before bed. Doesn’t work.
  
• Been to the vet (as recently as three weeks ago), no issues.
• Ignoring him doesn’t work. He just yells and yells, then starts doing things we can’t ignore like knocking over bedside lamps, messing with the expensive shades (came with the house, we aren’t masochists) and jumping on top of the mounted TV.
  
• Squirt bottle chases him away but he comes right back.
  
• Locking him out of the bedroom results in him howling and scratching at the door all night. Literally. He doesn’t give up after any length of time, we’ve tried waiting him out.
  

I don’t know what else to do. It’s severely affecting my quality of life, I need sleep. Sometimes it’s not until 4:30 but lately it’s been nearly all night after 2am. Hence me posting this at 3:30am. There has to be something else we can do. Please for the love of god let there be something. I am so tired.
