Never. She will fight the sleep as hard as she can. Well, that's a lie, she asks to go to sleep when she is playing sleepy time and she closes her eyes and pretends to snore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674972 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 10:22:29 +0000 NovBaby1112 1674972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, never. She doesnt want to miss a single thing. She totally ignores me when I say it's time for bed or a nap, and fights being carried up the stairs to her crib every.single.time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674943 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 10:15:17 +0000 cascademom 1674943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We ask him if he's tired, etc. He tells us "no" all the time. He's tired, but won't go to bed willingly. His only cues are not wanting to read a lot of books and wanting to turn off the light after you've started the bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674852 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:49:40 +0000 Mamasig 1674852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older son is the same way. He just does not require a lot of sleep. He sometimes will wander to the bedroom meaning he wants to go play before bed - not really go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674844 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:46:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 1674844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*raises hand*</p> <p>She can be yawning, eyes closing, running into furniture, half asleep... But if I ask her if she wants to go to sleep, it's always a no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674843 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:46:27 +0000 Adira 1674843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's only 15 months, but he has never asked to go down for a nap or bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674833 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:41:41 +0000 Canoli 1674833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 31 months and I think last weekend was the first time he said he wanted to go back to bed to take a longer nap. Every night and every weekend is a struggle to get him to lay down! The kid just has low sleep needs much to my dismay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674694 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:43:09 +0000 kiddosc 1674694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! No, E never asks to sleep. He's also never just fallen asleep somewhere random, like on the couch, or in his highchair. He will sleep in his carseat, but rarely in the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674678 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:36:11 +0000 buffalove 1674678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christ no, DS has never asked to sleep. and never will. if he looks tired and i ask him if he wants to nap, he says "no". He's asked to play in his crib before, but only because he wants to play peek a boo or something silly like that. not to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674658 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:28:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1674658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be the same way. He's 10 months old and if he's occupied and playing, he'll keep on chuggin along. Even if he's tired, he'll march on. It takes a lot to get him to calm down enough for him to sleep (or a nursing session). GUess that's why he's such a terrible sleeper at night - ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674640 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:24:59 +0000 winniebee 1674640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: whenever I think of my child's low sleep needs I think of yours! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674596 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:14:29 +0000 rachiecakes 1674596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes he asks for his crib but it's because he doesn't want to do whatever it is we're doing.<br /> J rarely naps - been that way since he turned 1 and these days goes to bed around 9pm, sleeps until 8am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674569 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:05:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 1674569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not alone; LO had NEVER asked to go to sleep. I often ask her if she's tired/wants a nap/is ready for bed and the answer 100% of the time is NO! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674566 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:04:49 +0000 littlek 1674566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: hahahaha same here... B loves to get in our bed and yell "night night" and pretend to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674565 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:04:30 +0000 winniebee 1674565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: lol I would sprint towards that crib if he ever asked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674560 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:03:40 +0000 winniebee 1674560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: hahah same. If we mention sleep he will say "no nap" or "no sleep". Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674544 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:59:20 +0000 MamaG 1674544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! If we even mention sleep, the immediate response is either "I'm not tired" or "I'm not sleepy". She's usually rubbing her eyes as she mutters these phrases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674543 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:59:18 +0000 Smurfette 1674543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can tell you without a doubt, R will be the same way. She fights sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674542 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:58:43 +0000 MamaMoose 1674542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one says "night night" but she's just pretending. If I respond and say "do you want to go night night" she screams "NO!!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674536 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:56:07 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1674536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chloe?

I got him in that crib so fast, so he couldn't change his mind lol usually if you ask if it's bedtime or nap time, he says no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674487 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:33:39 +0000 katsupgirl 1674487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO says she wants to go to bed but that doesn't mean she's going to fall asleep. I'm hoping she will one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-have-the-only-toddler-who-never-asks-to-sleep#post-1674470 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 07:27:14 +0000 winniebee 1674470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child (24 months) has never ever ever asked to go to sleep. Not for a nap or bed. Ever. I hear about parents saying their child asked to sleep and I have to wonder if we are normal lol. </p>
