    Just wondering how much sleep everyone's 3 year olds are getting ?

    My kids are going to bed at 9? If we're lucky :( and then up by 7am. They're taking a 1.5 hour nap around 2 in the afternoon. Im really surprised that's all they're sleeping. They are little hellions all day. But we have a solid bedtime routine and we do things every day to blow off steam & energy...

    Mine will be three on 12/26 and right now they are getting 10-12 hours a night and 2-3 hours a day with napping. We are starting to get to the point where some days they do not nap at all and then go a couple weeks where they are good little nappers.

    Usually 11 to 12 at night with 1 hour naps on weekdays and 12 to 13 at night with no naps on weekends. They will be three 2/3/11, and it seems to be plenty for them as they don't seem overly tired or cranky.

    11 hours, they're not taking naps anymore either, so 11 hours total a day.

    Mine aren't napping routinely anymore. They usually get around 11.5 - 12 hours of nightime sleep.

    Glad to know mine arent the only ones trying to "skip" naps too. DS naps everyday but DD is maybe 5 days a week?

    We also get up earlier since we potty trained 6 months ago! Once they get up to go, they are up for the day! boo :(

    Usually 13 hours total here. Nap is around 2 hours most days, sometimes nothing, sometimes 3, then we adjust bedtime accordingly.

    One sleeps from 9:30/10ish pm until about 5:30am. No nap. So 8 hours. Happy, easy going kid.

    One sleeps from 7:30ish until between 5:30 and 7:30am. Naps about 1-2 hours daily. If her nap is shortened or doesn't happen she can be asleep by 6:30. 11-13 hours. She is an easily frustrated child with few coping skills and I think sleep can be an escape time from the hardship of life!

    Both come into my bed several times during the night after 3 am.

    11 at night, 1 hour nap during the week and 2-3 on weekends (with some random days where they refuse to nap. Like today. Sigh).

    M-F around 10 hours plus a 1.5-2 hour nap during the day.

    Weekends around 11-12 hours and sometimes a 1-2 hour nap and sometimes not.

    They will be 3 on January 3rd! :faint: How the heck did that happen!!??

    At that age mine were getting 12 hours of sleep. :good: They dropped their nap when they were 3 years and 4 months old. :( Before they dropped their nap they were getting about 9 hours at night and a 2 hour nap. :gah:

    I'm so jelious of all these good sleepers. Mine dropped their nap a few months ago and only sleep 10-11 hours at night.

    Mine get about 11.5hrs at night (bedtime is 7pm and they are awake around 630am). They also nap anywhere from 1-3hrs/day (they do fight the naptime somedays, but they always nap at leasts 30min on a bad day).

    Mine get between 11 and 12 hours at night. They only nap 1-2x per week now so I won't calculate that in.

    9-10 at night during the week and 11-12 at night on the weekends. They typically take a 2 hour nap every day as well.

    10 hours at night and a 2 hour nap. They tend to take longer naps at home on the weekends than they do at daycare.

    I console myself with this thought. If my 3 year old only needs 7-8 hours of sleep now then think how much more she can accomplish as an adult needing less sleep. Didn't Albert Einstein only sleep in 4 hour chunks? I need more sleep than typical and it drives me crazy!

    Mine sleep about 10-11hrs per night & then naps vary from 1.5-2.5 hrs (on the days they occur...if there's no nap, then they sleep 11-12 hrs at night). I long for the day that mine sleep past 6:30am....and DREAD the day that naps stop completely!
