DD1 who is just over 3 goes to bed around 6pm, occasionally earlier. She doesn't have a daysleep. She is up around 6am, occasionally earlier.
Naps have an unpredictable effect on sleep. Usually if it is in the first half of the day and only short (say in the car on the way home from somewhere) there is no difference. If it is longer and later than she could be up a few hours extra. If she falls asleep, I let her sleep but it is rare that she does these days.
DD is 16mos and has a sleep usually around lunch time, anywhere from 1-3 hours.
Today she had a morning sleep, 9ish to 11ish. I was hoping she'd have an arvo sleep but it didn't happen.
Regardless of what time her day sleeps happen, she goes to bed between 7-8 and sleeps til 6.30-7ish.
DD is recently 3 and we are starting to drop the day sleep. She would reliably nap for 2hrs+, which was lovely, but then she'd be up til 9 or 10pm. Without the day sleep, she is comatose by 7.30pm. She now, after 3 years of working on it, sleeps reliably in the morning til some time between 6.30am and 7.30am.
DS is a bit of an unknown quantity - he will have a day sleep of anything from 1hr to 3hrs (I am serious) and will generally be asleep by 8.30pm. We put him down at the same time as DD but he talks, plays, whinges in his cot til around 8.30pm. He wakes any time from 5am to 7am. Every day varies with this child!!
I shudder to think about the next few weeks when we transition him to a bed...
