DD1 (3) has always been a rough sleeper, so I wish she would just stay in her bed all night every night. She still gets up once a night a few times a week. I'd also appreciate a later wake time but I can't complain on that front.

I wish DD2 (18 months) would drop her first nap! She is very high sleep needs and totals about 4 hours of naps everyday (broken into 2 naps) plus 12 hours over night. I like that she sleeps so well for me but I would also like to have more time with her and not have to worry about her getting too grouchy if we're out and about.

He fights naps so bad and always has. I have a fear that he will be giving them up in the next six months, and I will have a new baby in three months.

I wish DD would take longer than 20-30 minute naps.

I wish she wouldn't fight her naps so much. Her overnight sleep is great though!

I guess it would be nice if DD can just go to sleep on her own like she does at school and not need us to stay in the room with her! And if she would want to sleep more, that'd be welcomed too. She never had high sleep needs; rarely wakes up after 7am!

I wish DS would settle easier during his MOTN wakeup. We're down to one basically, but he has to be held till he's completely out again and then you just pray the transfer goes well. It is like I have a 6 month old again.

DS is 3.5 and seems to be napping every other day. He sleeps after 8:30p on most days and wakes up after 6:15a. He only wakes up to pee in the MOTN. For the most part he goes to sleep on his own and doesn't bug us after we put him to bed.

DD has not been STTN for the past two weeks. I attribute it to a language boom, or at least I hope it is! She has random days where she STTN but most of the time she wakes up once or twice a night and stays up for an hour or two. She will cry until one of us gets her and "hangs out" with her for that hour she's awake. She was a great sleeper before that though!

DS is 2.5 is really challenging in the sleep department (see my one million posts asking for sleep advice). The first thing I would change is that he wakes up every night in the middle of the night and ends up in our bed. I just want him to sttn in his own bed. He's also been taking really short naps - about an hour lately.

I wish she wouldn't fight bedtime/nap time so hard. It can take forever to get her to settle down, but once she stops resisting and trying to stall she usually will fall asleep fairly quickly. Once she does fall asleep she's pretty consistent-- sleeps about 10 hours/night and 1.5-2 hr naps -- and only wakes up motn about once every 10 days, but the battles to get her to sleep are draining

@irene: My 5.5 year old dd is the same way. We had so many battles over the summer with her staying up super late reading (11 pm regularly) and then not wanting to get up in the morning. Twice this week I had to force her awake at 8:15 so she would have time to get ready for school.

DD2 (25 mos),I wish she would take better naps and/or wake up later in the morning. I'm never ready to wake up at the ungodly hour she yells for me in the morning.

@irene: We're in the same place. Fights going to sleep (was up until after 10 last night) and then has to be dragged out of bed. I feel like we need to be putting her to bed earlier but not sure how as I work FT and solo parent until bedtime. DS is 6.5 months and is an ok sleeper. I hate that because I BF him I'm the only one who can do bedtime and I wish he would STTN but some nights we are down to only one wakeup which is good.
