    Waketime, Naptime, Bedtime

    Hi, Im just curious to know what times your bubs/toddlers wake up in the morn, have their nap and go to bed.
    My 22mnth old wakes around 7ish has his nap around 12 and goes to sleep at 8.20pm. I have been trying to make his bedtime earlier but no matter how early we go he will not sleep until almost 8.20 on the dot. Am thinking of waking him earlier or trying his nap earlier so just interested to know what times everyone is on...

    Hi there
    my 2 year old wakes between 6:30 and 7am , has a 2 hours nap at 12pm and goes to bed between 7:30pm and 8. She doesn't go to sleep straight away though - most nights it takes her about 20minutes to get to sleep.

    My DS now 2.5 gets up anywhere from 6-7am, naps around 12.30 if I can get him to. It's now just past 1.30pm & he's only just stopped playing around in his room. But he's always in bed by 7.30pm or just after regardless of what time he wakes from nap....just lucky with that I think.

    My 3yo is up at 6.30, if she has a sleep it's for about 2 hours at 12.30ish and is in bed at 7. Usually it only takes 5 minutes to go to sleep.

    My 2 year old DS wakes between 7.30-8 am normally, goes down for a sleep about 12.30pm and sleeps between 2-3 hours. He then goes to bed at night at about 8pm. I'd love it to be earlier too but don't think it will happen until he stops having a day sleep (which I don't want him to give up yet! BB time!).
    My DS will also tend to lay awake in bed until about 8.30-9pm. Unless he is really knackered, it is unusal for him to drop off to sleep straight away. He'll just be in bed, lining up his teddies, giving them orders like the bossy little thing he is or 'reading' books in the dark. Then suddenly there will be silence and he's asleep!

    My 2 yr old DS gets up between 6am and 6.30ish (sometimes earlier). Goes down for a nap at about 11.30am for at least two hours and is in bed asleep between 6.30pm and 7.00pm.

    What time does your DS wake from his nap? I found with my DD that if she slept later than 4pm it was very hard to get her to sleep before 8. She now wakes around 6:30 (used to be 7:30 but the sun's getting up earlier these days!) and rarely naps during the day, but if she does it is usually only for 40 mins. Then in bed by 7:30, sometimes if she is very tired, bedtime is 6:30.

    My 2-year-old wakes at around 8am (give or take 30 mins either way). Her naptime varies greatly from staring at 1pm to 3pm and usually she sleeps for around 2.5 hours.

    We aim to have her in bed by 7.30pm. Quite often though she'll still be awake at 9pm - she's quite happy in there talking to herself or reading her books otherwise I'd put her to bed later.

    My 22 month old son wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00. He goes down for a nap between 12:30 and 1:00 and sleeps for 2-4 hours, and then he goes to bed at 9:00. We have tried and tried to get him to bed earlier but it's such a struggle and he goes down so much easier at 9:00 that we've just left it as is.
