Sleep schedules

Telyco

Would you guys mind sharing your sleep schedules? We need to adjust ours so we're all up earlier once Evan starts school. But mostly- I'm interested in how long your toddlers go in between sleeps. Right now, both E&L have been staying up SUPER late. We'll put them in at their normal bedtime 9:15ish...but they are just playing for up to two hours before they go to sleep! I don't mind them staying up a little - but I feel really bad they they are up there alone for that long.

Right now our schedule looks like:

Up @ 9 (although Leah sleeps in later lots of days)

Naps @ 2:30-4:30 (sometimes Evan doesn't nap)

Bedtime @ 9:15

Since they just started staying up like this..I wonder if we start waking them up earlier, like 8 or before they will fall asleep faster at night.

DD typically wakes up around 8am (ranges from 730-845). I always put her down for a nap around 1/130....sometimes she naps, sometimes not. Today she passed out at 205. I usually leave her up there close to 2hrs to at least get some rest time. If she doesnt nap, she'll be out cold between 730-8pm. If she does nap, we take her up at 730 with an 830 into bed time....but she will play sometimes until 10pm or later.

DD is in bed by 8:00.  She naps about 2 hours/day, usually 1:00-3:00ish.  During the week I wake her up at 6:40.  On the weekends she will usually sleep until 7-7:30.

Her sleep schedule is always the same. Wakes between 6:30-7, naps from 1-3:30ish and in bed between 8-8:30 (although sometimes she plays till 9).

On week days I wake Belle up at 6:15/6:20. She naps from 12:30 to 2:30/3:00. The she is in bed between 7:30 and 8.

On weekends she gets up anytime between 8 and 9. She usually wakes up and plays before she calls us to get her (I'll take the extra sleep). She goes down for a nap at 1:00 on Saturday's because of gymnastics and Sunday's whenever she shows signs of being tired. Usually 11:30/12. Bed on weekends is still 7:30/8:00 if we are home. If we are out we let her stay up and she just sleeps in longer the next morning.

Evan schedule is typically:

up around 7-7:30

nap 12:4:5-2 (approx... sometimes it's more like 1-2:30)

bedtime 8-8:30 I aim for... some nights it's later.

On weekends he's been sleeping in late, like 9:30 or even 10 if we let him. But then he doesn't nap, so he's definitely asleep by 8 if not earlier.

If Evan napped for 2 hours that late in the day there is no way he'd fall asleep before 11!

I think your late naps are the reason for your late bedtime - bc we do late naps too and she isn't usually tired at 8.  We put her down between 8 and 8:30, but she plays and talks in there for quite a while before falling asleep.  We do late nap because of DH going to the gym 12-2 every day, so even on my days off that she doesn't go to the gym I keep her on the same schedule.  But next week when I go on maternity leave, I think I am going to try to get her down around 1 each day and see how bedtimes go.

Our schedule:

7am - wake up

2:30-4:30/5 nap

8/8:30 - bed

9-9:30 - actually falls asleep usually
