Sleepless on the floor!

My almost 20 months old for the past 7 months always did his routine and went to bed without a fuss on his own.B'H'
For the past 3 nights he refuses to go to bed and screams and cries as soon as I leave the room.

The result is that now I have to stay in his room until he falls asleep!
He is refusing to sleep in his crib so I end up on the floor with him
It takes more than an hour.
And he wakes up in the night so I have to go back and do the same thing!!!
.
He is clingy. He is crying a lot more. He is obviously tired from his lack of sleep.

There was no big stress like moving or vacation or these kind of things.
We did disrupt his sleeping schedule with Pesach.
Instead of his 8PM lights out it was more like 10PM lights out!

I do not want for me to sleep in his room to be new new accepted ritual.

What can we do to have his previous sleeping pattern back without waking up the whole neighborhood!!!

Help us please.
