2-3 yo night sleep

[ssmjlm]

What time is bedtime?

When do they wake?

Do you have to wake them for daycare, if yes, what time?

I'm trying to gauge if we need to adjust E's bedtime.  I can't tell if it's her or being in an apt with a loud upstairs neighbor.

J is usually down between 8 and 815. He usually wakes up around 7. But there are days I have to wake him. Like today I woke him at 740 because we had to leave for preschool at 840.

C is 26mo.

Bedtime is 7pm. Prior to him learning how to climb out of his crib last week, I was waking him up around 6:15am to get ready for daycare. Weekends he would wake up and then doze back off until 7 or so. Some days he would be awake when I went in at 6:15am to get him for daycare, some days I'd have to wake him up.

Of course, now that he figured out how to get out of his crib, he climbs out any time he wakes up instead of staying in bed and going back to sleep. This includes 3am and 4am. Sigh.

ETA: He's still been napping about 2 hours at home on the weekends and 1.5 hours at daycare during the week.  Although that's been a struggle with the getting out of bed thing too.

[noodleskooze]

His bedtime is 7:30p-ish.

We have to wake him up on weekday mornings for daycare, usually around 6:30a. On weekends he will sleep in until 7:30 or 8.

DS is almost 4, however, his sleep has been the same since 8w old when it comes to night sleep. Bed is between 8 and 815, up between 7 and 8. He's usually asleep anywhere from 5-45 minutes after bedtime.

[snshne322]

DS is just under 3 and he's usually asleep by 8:30 and I have to wake him by 6:45 to get to DC by 7:30.

His usual MO on the weekend was to sleep until 7:30, but in the last month it's been more like 6:30 on Saturdays and 7:30-8 on Sundays. That's largely due to the fact that he naps at daycare, but not at home beyond falling asleep in the car.

It's like he know it's Saturday and it's the day he wakes up the earliest.

B is 27m.

We put him down between 7:15-7:30, and he either goes straight to sleep or lies quietly for 30+ minutes.

He wakes himself up between 6-6:30 and we get him up between 6:30-7. On weekends sometimes he'll stay happy in the crib until 7:30 and those are my favourite days.

You didn't ask, but he naps 1.5-2 hrs at daycare apparently but only like 45m-1.5hrs max on weekends. And he's still in the crib until probably the new year if he doesn't climb out, fingers crossed.

This is a good point. J doesn't nap anymore (save for a random day here or there) and hasn't for the last year or so. I think if kids are still napping they will generally need less nighttime sleep.

DS is 2y 7m.

Bedtime is close to 9pm, although we have taken steps to push it to 8:30-8:45 this week, and it worked ok.

He generally wakes on his own at 6 or 6:30.

[lostlenore]

DS3 is 2 1/2. He goes to bed at 8:30, but lately doesn't actually fall asleep until as late as 9:30 or 10. Which is frustrating because ever since he climbed out of the crib at 2, we have to lay in his bed with him until he falls asleep. He usually wakes up for the morning around 7:30. I SAH so I never have to wake him up.

DD is 2y2m. Bedtime is about 7:30 pm. Some night she crashes quickly, some nights lately she's still awake at 9. I have a feeling it has to do with how long her nap was. She has to be up by about 7:10 am, but usually wakes before that.

[bananapancakes]

This thread is encouraging. Maybe by two I'll have a decent sleeper?

[jessnpaul]

DS is almost 3.5. Goes to bed around 9pm and wakes up around 7/7:30am (later on weekends lately which has been lovely!). We leave the house at 8:25-ish for preschool.

[bearbaby]

DS is 2.5 years old. We walk out of his room between 7:30 and 7:45 at night and he typically is asleep by, say, 8:15 (estimate - he's quiet, so I don't often track when exactly he's asleep).

He typically starts to rouse around 6:30 - we usually go into get him around 6:45, and he's awake but laying quietly. On the weekends sometimes we get lucky and don't have to get him until 7 or shortly after.

He still naps - typically 1.5 to 2 hours at daycare, and 2 - 2.5 hours at home.

When he wakes up 6:15 or earlier, it's clear that he still needs that amount of sleep because it's amazing what that 30 mins does to his 'tude for the day.

[grosnl19]

Dd is 34 months

Sleep by 9-9:30pm

Wakes at 7:30am (I have to wake her for school)

In addition, she is napping about 2.5 hours everyday.

[ssmjlm]

@vicmo she still naps at daycare and home. About 1.5-2 hours consistently. We don't let her sleep past 3:30/4 on weekends because it messes with night.

E usually goes down around 7:30, but lately has been chillin until 8. I wake her at 6:30 for daycare, but lately I've noticed she's up around 6:15. Weekends she used to sleep until 7/7:30, but this weekend she was up at 6:30.

Our upstairs neighbor has a teenage boy that is not quiet and I can't tell if it's him making noise in the am or what. She does have a sound machine. I do everything at night so I'm not making a lot of noise in the am.

I may see how she does at the beach next weekend where it will be quiet.

[antoniamarchette]

DS is 2 years 4 months. His bedtime has recently been pushed back to closer to 8. During the week he is up by 7 when we go in to get him but on the weekends he will sometimes sleep until 8. He usually takes a 2 hour nap.

[kaycee]

DD is 2 years 4 months. I take her upstairs to start bedtime around 7. If my husband is home normally it gets pushed back to 7:30. She is always in bed before 8. She doesn't nap, but she pretty reliably sleeps 12-13 hours at night. Last night she was asleep by 7:45, she woke up around 8, and played in her crib until I got her at 8:30.

[laurack]

matilda is almost 3.5

she usually sleeps 9pm-7am and takes a nap in the middle of the day for an hour or so, sometimes up to 2.

eta- she is in daycare from 8.45 - 5.45

[smile]

DD is 2y9m and goes to bed around 8:30pm. She wakes up around 7 - 7:30am. She naps 1-2 hours daily.

[rt2008]

DD is 2y, 2m

Goes to bed around 8. This time used to be 7:30 and it's been creeping later little by little.

Gets up around 7. Maybe 6:30. I don't have to wake her in the morning. My H takes her to daycare around 7:45.

[cherry1111]

DS will be 3 in December.

What time is bedtime? We start getting ready for bed at 8 and he's in his crib by 8:40 or so. He's great at dragging out bedtime.

When do they wake? 7:20-7:40

Do you have to wake them for daycare, if yes, what time? Most of the time he is waking up by the time I have to get him up for daycare. I usually get him from his crib around 7:45 to start getting him ready. I feel bad on the days I actually have to wake him up.

[Deleted]

DD will be 3 in February.
She goes down at 7:45 and falls asleep by 8:15-8:30. We wake her for daycare at 6:45 and she is pissed. On weekends she sleeps until 7:30-8. She doesnt reliably nap anymore. Every couple of days she will.

He generally wakes on his own at 6 or 6:30.

Same age and he's going to bed around 9. Ugh. At least he is sleeping until 7:15 most days (today was 7:30, which is too late).

We're trying to push it up, but even with a 30 minute nap that ends at 3:30 he still stays up until 9.

I liked 9pm a lot when the weather was nice, or if we have a party to go to.  DS can stay up until 10pm when needed, which is nice.

Now it is less nice.   I did buy him a new Paw Patrol blanket for his bed, and he was very excited to lay down with it at 8:30 last night.  He fell asleep about 15 minutes later, which I'll take.  Another plus for TV, LOL.  

I will be on bedtime duty solo tonight due to stupid football, so hopefully he will go down for me easily.  He prefers that his dad puts him to bed.

[jaybird]

DD goes to sleep at 8 and is up by 6 everyday. For about two weeks she slept until 6:30 and it was like magic, but as soon as I started to hope it was consistent she went back to 6.

[cincodemayo]

DS just turned 2.

He goes to bed around 8, weekends more like 8:30

He wakes up at 6:15, almost without fail. Weekends if I keep our room really dark, we can make it until 6:30.

He naps 1.5 hours at daycare, usually 2 hours on the weekend. DCP won't cut naps.

[countthestars]

T is 2y3m

We leave her room between 7:30-8. She often doesn't fall asleep until 8:30 or later but is happy to roll around after she has gotten out all of her stalling.

She wakes between 7-7:30. Our mornings are flexible so we try not to wake her.

She naps about 1 he at daycare and up to 3.5 on weekends. It doesn't change her night sleep.

[darnkatz]

2y6m

What time is bedtime? She is in bed by 6-6:30 almost every night because she turns into an overtired crazy person. 

When do they wake? 5:45-6AM, regardless of when she goes to bed at night. 

Do you have to wake them for daycare, if yes, what time? No daycare, but she has to be awake by 6:45AM so we can have time to get ready, eat breakfast, and get the older kid to school by 7:45. This is... never an issue for her. lol 


She also naps for 60-90 minutes usually.

[holly116]

All my kids go to bed around the same time. We shoot for 7:15 but sometimes it's a bit later. Absolutely everyone is down by 8.

My oldest wakes up at 6 to catch the bus. The boys should sleep till later, the youngest gets up around 6:45 if undisturbed, my 3 1/2 will sleep as late as 8, but he no longer naps. And then there are days like today where I'm outside in the dark at 6:30 to get DD on the bus and have the other two with me. Early birds, I have them lol.

[Velar Fricative]

She's 2 today, so I can answer!

Bedtime is sometime between 7:30 and 8:00. But she is flexible and can stay up later when we're out without a meltdown.

She wakes up around 6:30 most mornings but remains content in her room for a while. We don't leave for daycare until a bit after 7:00 so I get her after I've gotten myself ready, and then on the weekends she's content until around 7:30 or so. Occasionally she will actually sleep until around 7:00-7:30.
