Answers:
Perhaps you are inadvertently rewarding his crying by a lot of attention. Try to minimize the time you spend on this issue with him.

Instead of punishments, give him stars for being successful at not crying or for getting himself back to sleep.

Coach him on how to get back to sleep. Like think about favorite animals or the beach or playing soccer.
He may not yet have learned he can control his thoughts.

Reasure him of his saftey. Show him how he is safe.

Something new has happened to scare him. try and find out what it is and work with him on it. Fear in a child shouldn't be punished. You should try to offer bribes instead.
