Separation Problem??

My husband drives truck over the road.  He is home at least two times a month for more then a day.  However we do get to see him sporadically through the month.  Just recently he was home for about a week.  Since then my daughter, who is almost two, is having severe problems falling asleep, when she finally does fall asleep sleeps for up to 14 hours then needs a nap very shortly after waking, very clingy, and whinny.  This is NOT like her normal self.  Is there anything I can do to ease this for her?  She gets to talk to daddy all the time on the phone and I try to talk about him all the time.

What is her sleep routine when he is home ? Does it differ from when he is away , she may be getting mixed messages .
