How much does your 3 year old sleep?

I was just curious how much sleep your 3 year olds get with nighttime/nap? My oldest has been waking up really early (9 hours at night) and was thinking of cutting down his (1.5-2+ hours) nap.

Naomi and Luke just stopped taking naps this past month. They sleep for about 11 hours at night.
We did have their naps restricted to an hour from when they turned three.

 

Josh stopped napping when he was two, because otherwise, he was up until 10pm! :wacko: He sleeps about 11-12 hours at night.

 

I will probably TRY to cut back his nap to a hour. He naps pretty well. He has not taken a nap a couple times and would have night terrors. So hopefully if I cut it back a hour he will be OK and he will sleep in a little.

Here's a link to the "average" amount of sleep per age range. http://www.plateaupediatrics.com/sleepinfo.html
It gives a range of 10.3hrs- 14.8hrs / 3yr olds with the average being 12.5hrs/day.

My boys are 3.5yr old (turn 4 at the end of the year). One still takes a nap almost daily 2.5hrs. The other naps the same amount only 2 times/week. Both go to bed the same time and wake up the same time. Luke just still needs more sleep than his brother (always has). Their sleep range is 11 hrs- 14hrs total/day....so average per the chart.

 

My 3 yr old sleeps about 10 - 11 hours at night, and takes about an hour to a little over an hour nap each day.

 

We get no naps and about 11 hours a night.

 

My two are in daycare, and still take a nap there. If it's a daycare day, they only sleep 10 hours at night (& 2 during the day). I really prefer they don't nap, because I don't like them being up until 10p. But since they have a pretty busy day at daycare/preschool - I'm glad they do lay down and rest for a couple of hours during the middle of the day.

If it's a weekend day, they sleep about 12 hours at night (we don't do naps on weekends).

Ditto this for my Anthony. I dread the days that he passes out for a nap. He goes to bed about 8:30 and sleeps till 7:30-8am without a nap.

My boys are in exactly the same boat (and almost exactly the same age). They sleep about 9 hours at night, too, and we've been talking about eliminating the 1.5-2+ hour naps to see if it helps with the 5:30 wake ups. They've been giving me a lot of trouble at nap time, too, so I might try skipping them next week and see how it goes. It's just that once they finally do fall asleep for a nap, they sleep so well.

 

My 3 year old doesnt take a nap (when she does I cant get her to go to sleep until around 10 p.m.!!) she usualy sleeps for about 9 hours at night.

I think mine usually get about 10 hours at night and then maybe an hour during the day if I'm lucky. It doesn't seem like enough!

 

Mine go to bed @7pm, but sleep on average from about 8 pm-6-7 am, they usually get about an 1-1.5hrs of nap 5 days/week.
So close to 11 hrs/day, ish.
