If your 3 y/o still naps....

what time is naptime and for how long? When do they go to bed?

DS seems to not be tired at all when we put him down at 8 which means it's taking him an hour sometimes longer to fall asleep. He was sleeping from 8p (8:3-ish) to 8a then napping from 2-4, but here lately its 9p before falling asleep then waking around 7ish. I think it's time to tweek his schedule a bit. I'm thinking 1:30 nap  waking him no later then 3:00 then maybe by 8 he will be ready for bed???

Re: If your 3 y/o still naps....

  • 1-3 or 4 (or somewhere in between)

    Bed-8ish

    wake up- 7ish

  • Naptime for us is 1:30 and he naps until 4, sometimes later.  It just depends if he falls asleep right away or plays in his bed for a while.  Bedtime is 9pm.  He sometimes takes an hour or so to fall asleep then too.  I know I should probably tweak the schedule a little, but his brother naps at exactly the same time and I'm not ready to give that up just yet.

  • during the week when he's at the sitters, nap time is 1-2:30 (he wakes when he hears the other kids waking) bedtime is 8 and I have to wake him at 6 to go to the sitters

    on the weekends nap time is 1- 3 or 4 and bedtime usually ends up being 8-8:30 and he waks up at 7-7:30 in the morning

  • She's on this crazy, nap on every 3rd day thing. But, on the days she does nap, she'll go down at 1:30 and I wake her by 3 at the latest. She goes to bed at 8 and is awake at 6.
  • I think DS needs about five hours between sleeps. So, if he wakes up at 8am, I put him down for a nap at 1pm. I also don't let him nap past 3:30pm.
  • Wake 6:30-7am

    Nap 12:30-2:30 or longer, but no later than 4:30pm

    Bed 7:30 (usually asleep by 8)

  • forgot to add, she sleeps until about 9am.

  • He gets up at 7:00am

    Naps between 12:00 - 3:00 (some days it's less time, but normally around 2.5 hours)

    Goes to bed at 8:00pm

  • DS naps at home at 2 or 3....and he will sleep forever if I let him.  Bedtime is 9.  He wakes anytime between 7:30 and 9.  When he's at MDO twice a week, he naps earlier at like 12:30 or 1:00 and is still clearly groggy/sleepy when I pick him up at 2.

  • Ugh!  I'm so jealous of some of you!

    DD wakes up between 5:30-6:30am.  She will nap at 12, but I won't let her sleep past 2.  Even then, she goes in her room at 8pm and doesn't actually fall asleep until around 9ish.

  • DD will be 4 next month. She gets up around 6:30am.  She naps from 3-4:30pm & goes to bed between 7:30-8pm.
