    Moo goes down no later than 7pm but usually a bit earlier. He wakes up between 7am and 8am so is down for 12 to 13 hours.

    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!
