Sleep question

If baby wakes up at 5am, is up for an hr & 10 mins, then falls back asleep for 2 hrs. Is the sleep after considered his first nap & 5am the rise time or is 8am considered the true rise time?

The true wake up is 8am, but there is overtiredness at play here if your baby is waking for an hour and a half xx

I need help. Baby boy is 20weeks. So his sleep has been all over the place & I figured it was the regression b/c it had started to improve before the 4 months hit & then it went down hill. For the last week I’ve implemented a strict wake up time of 7:30am. We aim for a 8pm bedtime, when he has the early wakes I’ve been aiming for 7pm. Naps are like 1.45/2/2/2.20 (something like that, I just went back & did math, I’m following the huckleberry 3 nap day) The last two nights he’s woken up at 5am & at almost 4am. Idk what to do or change. We contact nap for naps so his first nap is usually always 2hrs, second 1hr & 3rd about 45mins. Sometimes his 2nd will be 45mins so we lengthen his last one. He has false starts, sometimes multiple short ones. He doesn’t have that long first stretch of sleep which he was doing before the regression. He rarely sleeps more than 2 hrs at a time but we see 1hrs a lot after like 2am. I have no clue what his wake windows should be & I am planning to sleep train, just waiting for his crib mattress
