CP: How many hours sleep?

silliestbunny · May 2012

If this has been discussed often here, I apologize. I quickly skimmed but didn't see much. I am normally on the Adoption board but I need some sleep insight for my Dec 10 baby girl.

She's fighting going to sleep every night. She's always been a good sleeper and I am considering adjusting her sleep schedule.... so I'd like to know what your littles ones are sleeping like these days

Also, if you have a good sleeper-- are they also a good napper or are naps gone??

He generally sleeps from 7pm - 6am. 11 hours at night.

He takes one long nap in the afternoon (shortly after lunch) and it ranges from 2-3 hours depending on the day and how active/busy we were in the mornings.

This is us too. Though he tends to wake up closer to 5:30-5:45am a lot.. :-)

I voted 11, on average. L usually sleeps from 8:30-7:45-ish. She never gets out of bed until about 8:30, though, because she likes to play with her animals once she wakes. She still takes one nap, which is very inconsistent in length. I'd say average length is about an hour and a half.

DS tends to sleep ~10.5 hrs at night so I answered 10 because his napping is less than average as well. He naps 1-1.5 hrs. The days he gets even less than 1 hr of napping are more common than the days he gets more than 1.5 hrs. So his total sleep is typically under 12 hrs a day. He does sleep well at night, though. He just rises early. And in case you think I ought to put him to bed early, well, after we put him down he tends to talk to himself for at least 30 min so I don't think putting him down earlier would help. DS is also insanely active during the day. On ridiculously active day he might take a longer nap or go to bed earlier, but when I say that I mean basically non-stop running all morning. He just isn't much of a sleeper or a rester. On the converse side, if we are not doing much or DS is confined to the car much of the day for a trip, he might skip a nap altogether or have a very hard time going to bed.

J goes to bed at 9 and unless he's got to be woken up to go to someone to watch him (M, Tu, Fr), he will typically get up right around 7, so about 10 hours.

He takes a nap 99.5% of the time, usually at this point ranging from 2 to 3.5 hours... depending on activity level, quality of sleep the night before, and if we had to wake him to take him to daycare/grandparents to watch him.

Jericho is still not sleeping through the night. On a good night he only gets up once and it looks about like this...bed 8:30-9pm up at 2am. Bed at 2:15am up for good about 7-7:45am. He takes a 2 hour nap about 50% of the time.

DS sleeps about 10 hours on average. He usually goes to bed by 8:00 and wakes up between 6:00 to 7:00. Usually closer to 6:00.

lrn327 · May 2012

Sleeps usually 7:30pm to 6:30am and is a good napper. At DC, he naps 12:30-2:30pm but at home that usually goes to 3:30pm.

msualum96 · May 2012

He usually "sleeps" an avg of 11 hours...meaning I *put him in bed* between 8-8:30! That doesn't by any means = him going right to sleep though! Sometimes he's out in less than 5 minutes, and then like last night, he jabbered in his crib for about 45 minutes. Regardless, during the week, he's up at 7:15 to get ready for DC, and on the weekends he'll sleep until 8-8:30 sometimes. Naps are from around 1 until 3-3:30 fairly consistently due to his DC schedule.

EVM1216 · May 2012

DD usually sleeps around 11 hours. She goes to bed at 8:30 and during the week I go in at 7:15 to wake her up, usually she is still asleep. On the weekends when I let her "sleep in" she usually wakes between 7:30-8:00.

She also takes a 2-3 hour nap every day.

bosha711 · May 2012

I voted for 11 (7:15p-6:15a).

However, this past week he's been fighting going to bed & waking early, so it's been more like 9.5. ugh.

He takes 1-2 naps per day, which are 1 to 1.5 hours in length each.

* edited b/c apparently I can't do simple math

I'm not currently working (teacher), so LO has gotten to sleep in the past few weeks and wakes up between 7 and 8. He goes to bed around 7pm. So, 12-13 hours of sleep. When I work, we get up at 5:45. He takes about an hour nap during the day and sometimes a second nap in the evening (about an hour long.)

LilyRose28 · May 2012

He usually sleeps 7-7 (12 hours) at night and naps for 1.5 hours during the day. Every once in awhile he'll stretch it out to a 2-hour nap but not usually.

Amberry10 · May 2012

M looooves his sleep. He sleeps usually 7:30pm - 8:00am. He takes 1 nap a day ranging from 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours.

This is exactly us. His nap usually starts at 11:30-12:00

DS loves sleep too. I voted 11 hours, though he's usually in his crib a little longer, I figured falling asleep time,etc. He's a great napper - anywhere from 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours from 1-4:30 ish

tiffanyp · May 2012

We get 9.5 or 10 hours at night, and one nap of 2 to 2.5 hours.

amberleeb · May 2012

Audrina go to bed at 8 and gets up out of the crib between 7:30 and 8. I think she usually plays for about 30 min in the morning before making any noise. She also is a great napper usually from 2 1/2-4 hours. She loves her sleep!
