What time does your 3-4 year old get up in the am and go to bed?

darlene'smommy

Just seeing what time they get up in the morning, if they take a nap what time and what time do they go to bed? Dd has been getting up between 6-8 am but most the time it's about 7 am. She no longer takes a nap and was going to bed about 8 pm but lately seems way over tired for bed at 8 pm.

Well, I'm watching DS toss and turn on the monitor and it's 9:40. He's usually asleep by 10. He does take naps still. He wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30. He naps at school between 12:30-2:30. On the weekends it's later. About 2:30-4:30. We try to not let him take naps on the weekends but that's been an epic fail lately.

DD usually goes to bed between 8:30 and 9. On non-school days, she will sleep until 9 most days. School days, she's up at 8. She doesn't nap.

he goes to bed around 8/830 if he had a nap (about 2hrs) and gets up in the morning around 730. If no nap, then we put him to bed at 7/730.

My almost-3 yr old and 4.33333..... yr old both get up about 7:30.  They 'rest' (and sleep 90% of the time) from 2-4ish, then bed usually between 9-9:30.  Tonight they watched a movie in the family room after dinner so they just got to bed about 15 min ago and they were still totally acting great.

Almost what Stacy said, but DS only naps at daycare during the week and rarely naps at home on the weekends. We put DS to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 but the kid just does not like to sleep.

My 3 year old gets up between 6:30 and 7 most days.  We go upstairs for bedtime routine at 7, unless it's a bath night, then it's 6:30.  DH expects lights out no later than 7:45.

Too damned early, and too damned late.

She's 4.5 and mostly refuses naps. ?Bed around 930, wakes around 7.

He's up between 6 and 6:30 (up until last month it was 5:30 daily for 2 years). When I'm not working he takes about a 2-3 hr. nap after lunch. During the week, though, he doesn't usually take naps b/c grandma doesn't make him, and she's his babysitter, so yeah. He goes to bed at 8.

DD1 wakes up around 7:30-8 am, takes a nap from 3-5 and goes to bed at 9 pm (not sure how long it takes her to fall asleep, probably a half hour).

josie402

DS gets up at 7, naps from 1-2:30/3 and goes to bed at 8.

winomom22

Asleep around 8:30-9pm and awake around 7am. She doesn't nap.

Kersbear

It really varies.  Carter ususally is sleeping between 8-9pm.  Sometimes it's later.  He's up anywhere between 6am-9am. 

brightning

No naps.

Awake from 6:15 a.m. to about 8:30 p.m.

Mominator

Up by 6:30 and in bed by 8 every night. Some days she naps for 2-3 hours, and other days she skips her nap completely, but she is always up at 6:30am, no matter what

marrymemylove

DS goes to sleep around 9pmish and wakes around 6-6:30am on weekends or 7ish on weekdays.

GettinNervous

Up around 6. 1-2 hour nap at 12:30. Bed at 9-9:30.

Zenya

DS needs 12 hours a night and gets it about 75% of the time.  7 to 7.. 8 to 8.. it varies.  He hasn't napped since he was 2.  

r9stedt

Wakes between 6-7 (if I am lucky 715); he is no longer napping at daycare but he does with me from 3-5; on daycare nights he falls asleep at 715, nights that he has napped he falls asleep around 830-9

DD is typically in bed around 7:30 and sleeps until 7-7:30. She just needs lots of sleep. She stopped napping around the time she turned 3.

Angela814

She gets up at 7am to get ready for school. We've been trying to get her to bed between 8:30-9pm. She takes a nap some days but not every day. When I go back to work full time, she'll be at daycare in the afternoons, and then I think she'll go back to napping every day.

3 years old.  Gets up at 7am most mornings.  Bedtime is 8pm.  Naps at daycare Mon-Fri but rarely on weekends, which is rough.

DandelionMom

She usually goes to bed at 7 and is up at 7.  But this morning it was more like 5:30 (thanks to DH's alarm) and she's sooooo tired and crabby.

DD#1 is 4 years and a few months.  During the week, she gets up for PreK at 6:15am, about 50% of the time she takes a 1 hour nap and the other days, she rests quietly.  She goes to sleep at around 7:30 but sometimes its 7 and sometimes she delays it by getting up and stalling and its closer to 8pm.  On the weekends, she gets up between 6:30 and 7pm and bedtime is between 7 and 8.

DD#2 is 2 1/2 and gets up for preschool at 6:15am.  She takes a 1-3 hour nap everyday.  Bedtime is 7pm.  On  the weekends she will wake up between 7-8am and same nap and bedtime is between 7 and 8.

DS has had the same routine since he was 2.

Wake at 6-6:30, nap for an hour aroung 12 or 1, bed at 7:30-8:30. Unless you count last night. He was still up at 8:45.

He hasn't ever napped on the weekends.

The girls are both on the same schedule (roughly).  They go to bed around 8ish - depending on the day and their moods.  They get up around 7-7:30ish. Neither takes a nap at home anymore unless they're sick though DD#2 sometimes will doze at school (T/Th) for 20-30 minutes.  Both are a mess by 8pm, but they will not fall asleep any earlier and we can't get them to bed earlier anyway.  The schedule actually worked great over the summer when we were less busy.  Now with school, activities, the pool, etc., they're more tired but still don't sleep anymore. 

Oh and if they happen to crash on the couch or something for an hour or two on a really crazy day, they'll be up past 10 and even worse than the days with no naps.  It just doesn't work well.
