If your LO wakes up for day between 6 and 7....

iristony · January 2012

What time and for how long do they nap? When is bedtime? Trying to see if we are in the lines of what others are doing.

My son typically goes down sometime between 12 and 1 and sleeps for 1.5 to 2 hours. We put him down for the night around 8 (give or take).

Ry wakes up between 6-7, depending on the day. I'd say he averages 6:30. He is supposed to nap from 12-2, but its usually only 12-1:30.

He goes down for the night between 6-7 as well. The past few nights, closer to 6:45, but for the 3 weeks prior, if we kept him up past 6:05 it was HORRIBLE. He's an early sleeper I guess!

B wakes up between 6-7 and goes down around 10:30 for a nap, which is usually about 30 minutes. He will go down around 2:30 for about 1 hour. His bed time is between 8-9 but he does wake throughout the night.

I usually wake my kids around 7 three mornings a week. My DS will nap from around 12:30-3:30, and then he goes to bed between 7-7:30pm. Sometimes, he will nap later til 4 or slightly after, so then he might stay up a bit later. If I don't have to wake them, they will sleep til 7:30 or 8.

I think we were blessed with really good sleepers!

We wake DS between 6:15-6:30 during the week. (On the weekends he'll sleep to 7 usually)

He naps at daycare between 12-12:30, sleeps 1-2 hours depending on the day.

He goes to bed by 7 (earlier if his nap was only an hour)

Overall he gets 13-14 hours of sleep a day.

My DS awakes in the morning between 6:15 and 7 AM depending on the day.

His nap starts sometime between 1:30 and 2:15 and he sleeps for anywhere from 2-3.5 hours.

He goes to sleep at night at 7:30 PM.

DS wakes between 6 and 6:30. We're transitioning to 1 nap, so some days he makes it to 9:30-10 and needs a 1- or 2-hour nap, then naps around 3 for another hour or two. On days he does 1 nap, he naps about 12-3. Bedtime is 7 every night, sometimes a little earlier.

melody921 · January 2012

He goes down for a nap around 12:30 and sleeps 2-3 hours. Bedtime is 7:30.

Aloe0l · January 2012

Nap is after lunch, so sometime between 12 & 1, and DD also goes to bed around 8. Same as you!

kristinem17 · January 2012

DS goes down at 7:30pm and he is up by 7:00am - he naps between 12-2pm.

iristony · January 2012

Thanks, all. This was very helpful! I may try and start getting son down a little earlier since I see it works for many of you. I have so much to get done in the evenings after working all day and while I love the extra half hour with son, I may start needing that half hour for me some days.

hoping4sticky · January 2012

T generally sleeps 7-7. Sometimes wakeup varies btw 6:30 - 7:30. She used to nap for three solid hours, but lately she has been going down around 11:30 - noon and sleeping somewhere between 2-3, usually closer to 2.

anneimal98 · January 2012

We appear to be in the minority but we still do 2 naps a day. So wake around 6:30, naps around 9:30 and 2:30, usually about 1.5 hrs each, and bed around 8:30.

pitterpatter129 · January 2012

Ours depends on the day. Daycare/weekdays have a different schedule than weekends/vacation days.

He naps at daycare for an hour about 11:00 and at home for an hour at 4:00, then bed at 7:30. We get up about 5:45 on these days.

When we are at home, he naps for about 2-3 hours about 10:30 and again for an hour about 5:00, then bed between 7:30 and 8:00. We get up about 8ish on these days.

ANJ410 · January 2012

DD wakes up between 6 and 7, eats lunch around 11:30, then goes down for her nap at Noon. Nap usually lasts 1.5 - 2hrs. Bedtime is 7.

historychick79 · January 2012

C is typically up by 7 (but lately he's been sleeping in, so we may be transistioning). His first nap is usually around 10, for about an hour. He has a second nap around 2:30 for roughly 90min. He then goes to sleep between 7 and 7:30 most nights.

This for DD as well.

This exactly for wake up and naps. The only exception is our DS bedtime is usually sometime between 6 and 7 pm.

MamatoA2010 · January 2012

DD (23 months) goes to sleep at 7:00pm sharp and wakes up around 7-7:30am the next morning. Her one nap is from about 1:00-3:30pm. HTH!

HelloWaldorf · January 2012

Sounds about right. DS gets up at 7 , takes a 2 hour nap after lunch, and is in bed at 7.

We're with you - DS still takes 2 naps/day. He just can't make it without yet. We're still waiting for the 1 nap transition to happen!

He usually wakes up between 6:30-7am, nap at 9:30am and 1pm and then bed at 7:30pm.

DD goes to bed at 6:30 and sleeps until 6:30. During the week at daycare she sleeps from roughly 12-2ish. At home she is still on 2 naps. One 2 hour in the morning and a 1.5 hour in the afternoon.
