How long is your LO "down" for overnight?

[Heaven]

DD goes to bed at 8.30, always! She has chosen that time herself and it's too hard to get her to sleep before then, and anytime after she's really over tired. Then she wakes between 5 and 6am. If I'm lucky 6.30am. So only around 9hrs sleep here. Was better in winter when it wasn't so light in the mornings. She has a 2hr day nap as well.

My DS is 18 months and is usually down for somewhere between 10 and 11 hours, sometime less, but I do my best to get a minimum of 10 hours. He only naps for 1.5 hours during the day at most, but seems to get by on around 12 hours sleep a day... I think they're all different and just need different amounts of sleep. As long as she's happy I wouldn't worry. I have found that it doesn't make any difference what time DS goes to bed he still wakes up at the same time (usually around 5am, 6am on a good day). HTH

My two year old goes down around 9pm. Can sometimes be as early as 8pm, but not generally before 8:30.

He sleeps until at least 7am. Frequently as late as 8am, but we generally wake him then if he hasn't already. He seems to love his sleep - around 11 hours per night plus a 2-3 hour nap during the day.

My 4yo is never in bed before 8 these days. Sometimes she doesn't fall asleep until after 9! But she's in bed by 8:30 usually, and without a day sleep she'll generally fall asleep fairly quickly. She wakes anytime after 6:30, though it is usually closer to 7 or 7:30. So she gets around 10/11 hours' sleep in 24.

My 19mo is all over the joint. She usually goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm, however some nights she is still awake at 9 also. (But tends to just entertain herself, although sometimes she does cry out for a cuddle and a song.) For the last several months she has woken at 7 on the dot regardless of what time she went to sleep, unless she's had an unsettled night where she's woken multiple times, in which case she sleeps in. A couple of times she's woken at 5:30 or 6 and she is trashed for the whole morning. Not fun. She has a 1.5 - 3 hour nap during the day (2 hours is the average, really), so we're looking at 11 hours 'bed' time overnight plus 2 in the day.
Gosh, it looks a lot better than it feels in practice, LOL! When they don't get into bed before 8 it just feels late, but I suppose it all works out ok!
