When did your toddler start sleeping less?

Maddie's been going to sleep later but waking up earlier (5AM is so fun! NOT.). When she's overtired, she sleeps less, so I'm not sure if this is her reacting to her lack of sleep last week or if she's needing less sleep. WDYT? She's 22 months.

Michelle never really did that but if she's had a very busy day or things out of the ordinary like holidays she will sleep less mainly because she's overtired.  It usually takes a few days of her normal routine to get her back on track.

5am wake up sucks!

Reagan's Mommy

Reagan starting waking up around 5/5:30 about a month or two ago.  I assumed it was b/c we moved her from her crib to a toddler bed.  But, it could just be a coincidence.

I've actually talked to a lot of moms in our gymboree class, and all of them say their kids are getting up around 5 also.  So, it sounds like its just the age.  (If Reagan goes to bed late b/c we are out or have company, she's still up at the same time....then she's super tired.)

Right about 22-23 months. LOL

Co18 said that B went through a minor sleep regression at this age, and it lasted a couple of weeks. I hope she's right.

I better count my blessings then because Michelle never got up any earlier than 6am but the latest she's ever slept was 9am and that was a one time thing.

I believe DD was around 21 months or so when she started waking around 5AM and it lasted a couple of months.  She now wakes up around 6:30-7.

Miles started sleeping less after his second bday. He has gotten back to sleeping past 6am but it could just be the cold.

Emilia just started sleeping less... she will be 2 in March.

Preston has not started sleeping less at all. If anything he sleeps more. He goes to bed at 8 gets up at 8 and takes a 3 hour nap.

Count your blessings!  DD is 18 months and has always gotten up around 5:15.  If she sleeps in til 6, I feel like I won the lottery, it's so rare.
