Each person is different with the amount of sleep they need each night
....i agree. It does sound like a long day for him, esp if he has been stirring during the night. I guess they're like us...if we've had a crappy night sleep, then we usually go to be earlier the next night. Maybe take each day and assess how his night b4 has been. Maybe on the odd day he does need to go down for a nap at say 11am rather than 1130am...KWIM ??

Whilst we have a general nap time and bed time each day DH and i follow, i always work it into the kind of day we've had. For example yesterday we stayend in our pj's till midday, watched a dvd in the arvo and ate chocolate, and played on swings in arvo - so a lazy day really, so we didnt put them to bed till 730pm (usually 7pm)......just take each day....good luck !
