    Default How long does your 3yo sleep?

    How long does your 3 year old sleep at night? Do they still take a nap? Just curious what the norm is.

    My DS usually sleeps 12-13 hours at night. Goes down 7-8 PM and wakes up 7-8 AM. He dropped his nap 6-8 months ago.

    Mine just turned 3 in December. She no longer naps. Bedtime is at 7:30 and she is usually up between 7:30-8:30.

    DS is 3.5. He usually falls asleep between 7:30 and 8, and he's usually up for the day by 6. No naps. Wish he would sleep more.

    DS is 4, but his sleep is basically the same now as when he was 3. He goes to sleep (not bed but sleep) at about 8:30-9:30pm and is up at 7am. I find that he is more likely to go to sleep earlier if he DOES nap, which he does some days and doesn't others. When he gets wired he can be up really late.

    My DD is 3.5. She quit taking naps just a few months past the age of 3. She'll occasionally crash on the couch/car after a hard morning, but it's not consistent. She sleeps about 12 hours a night.

    DS is 3y4m. He sleeps 11 hrs a night and naps 2-3 hrs everyday. He has had this same sleep schedule for a long time--since he was a around 1 and dropped his AM nap.

    Except my DS is 3y1m. And now that he's in school they only allot 2 hrs for naps (and he can't really sleep in, as we have to get to work/school) so he tends to have 3+ hr naps on weekends.

    I imagine DS will still be napping at age 4. Though I could see DD being done with naps at age 3. She's not even 2 and she's starting to have 45minute naps at school here and there.

    DD sleeps ~11 hours at night. Usually 7 PM - 6 PM. She dropped her nap, totally out of the blue, at 3 years, 5 months. Like she went from napping 2 hours every day to no naps. It sucked.
