Toddler moms - what are kids sleep/awake hours

jertie · May 2013

HI! I was thinking back to a post from Pottermommy a few days back and she was talking about how her 15 mo was making some noise to get up about 8:30 AM - and I was in awe. How on earth does her LO sleep until 8:30? Pip is typically awake around 6:30 - everyday. But then I thought - well, she goes to bed right around 8 - 8:15, which is actually a solid sleep time.

So my questions are these: When does you LO go to sleep/wake up? Does it vary by weekend vs. weekday?

ETA - Pip usually naps around noon for about 1.5 - 2 hours.

We're on the tail end of toddlerhood but my three year old is currently sleeping 8/9PM-7AM, plus a 1-3hr nap at abt 2PM. During the winter when the sun wasn't up & shining in his face he would usually sleep another hour or two. That's been pretty much his sleep pattern summer vs winter since he was at least one. Before that I didn't really keep track of hours just day light. He's always been a good sleeper.

LO thrives on a schedule and does it even on the weekend. Gotta love how DC structures their lives!

In bed almost exactly at 8 PM

Naptime 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Awake around 6:30 AM

On the weekends in the morning, she will play quietly in her crib until 7:30 AM or so as long as we are not walking around the house. If I am up, then she wants to be with me.

DS1 is almost 3.5 and he wakes for the day around 6:30 (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) every day....weekday or weekend. He goes down around 7 pm. He no longer naps. He quit right before DS2 was born. I think that happened mainly b/c we moved him to a big boy bed. Up until this Fall, he was napping 3 hours a day and still going to bed around 7:30. We had to move his bedtime up b/c he is just exhausted by 6:30.

DD is in bed at 8:30PM (has been fighting it a bit, lately) and I have to wake her up during the week at 6:30. During the weekends, we let her be in her crib and she sometimes wakes up herself, but we absolutely get her out by 7:30 if she hasn't woken.

She has been condensing to one 2-2.5 hour nap after lunch, around 1. Again, she would probably sleep a bit longer if I let her, but I want her to be able to fall asleep at night.

I am always confused on the "let sleep/let wake" situation, but it seems to be working okay. She has lots of energy during her awake moments and is a decent sleeper.

I think she is hitting something here at 12 months where she night-wakes once and wants our attention, but falls right back asleep if we go to her before she totally spirals.

My DD sleeps from about 8 or 9 until 6am sometimes I get 6:30. She's not a great sleeper though and sometimes is up 1-2 times a night for about an hour. She still will nap for me about 1-2 hours after lunch but not always any more.

Recently, we put her in her bed around 9/9:15pm and she's asleep between 9:30/9:45pm. She is up usually right around 7am. Before that we were putting her to bed an hour earlier and she was waking up at 6am and it was killing me.

She usually naps for 2 hours from 2-4pm.

So like 9-9.5hrs at night and 2hrs during the day.

Lucas is a night owl like me. Plus, since I teach nights, he?s kind of adapted to my later schedule. He usually goes to sleep sometime between 10:30pm-12am, depending on the day. He wakes up around 9-10:30am, depending. And then he usually sleep around 2-3 hours for a nap in the afternoon.

DD is 16 months. She is asleep between 7-8 depending on how tired she is. She wakes up around 6:45 regardless of weekday/weekend. She usually takes a 1.5 - 2 hour nap between 12:30 - 2:30 ish.

She will fall asleep somewhere between 7:45-8:00pm and wake around 6:30-6:45am. She naps at daycare for about 1-1.5 hours.

It really doesn't change over the weekends. =

DS is 22M. He wakes around 8:30am, naps anywhere in the 2to5pm range for about 45min and goes to bed at about 9:30pm. He gets out of his bed around 2am to get in bed with me.

DS turned 2 in February, he goes to bed around 8:00 pm give or take 30 minutes, and weekdays we have to wake him up around 6:45 (he usually never wakes up before then), but weekends he usually gets up around 7:30. So he sleeps about 11ish hours solid. He typically naps for 1.5 hours during the day.
