DS1 takes a 2 hour nap at school and sleeps from 10-7. So the same - 11 hours total, but that school nap pushes his bedtime way late. He's just not tired any earlier and doesn't require a lot of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351998 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:38:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2351998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: the night before last she was still up at 9:30pm! On the weekends when she doesn't nap we send her to bed earlier, like 8:15. It's a crapshoot on whether she falls asleep or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351980 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:31:11 +0000 Alivoo01 2351980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and has been going to sleep earlier even though I've been trying to hold out for the same "bed time". He'll stay up if I play with him, etc, but if I put him to bed earlier, he'll fall asleep easily without a milk request, which NEVER happens.</p> <p>BUT earlier bedtime = earlier wake up times which means earlier nap times. Oof! Watch, by the time he fully adjusts to DST, it's time to spring forward.

She sleeps 630-530 or so. Lately 4 am ... 😩 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351880 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:53:10 +0000 hilsy85 2351880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yeah I hear you. If LO naps even 45 min we have a 9pm bedtime and a 6:30 wakeup, so no time in the evening or in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351876 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:51:34 +0000 winniebee 2351876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 goes to bed at 8/8:30 and usually sleeps until 7/7:30. He's 3.5 and doesn't nap, ever. DST messed with us for a little while, but we seem to be back on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351874 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:50:30 +0000 Bao 2351874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: wow! I guess I can't complain then huh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351856 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:42:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2351856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old has been going to bed around 8:30/900 for a very long time. She wakes for the day no later than 6:30. These days (DST!!) it's more like 5:30. She naps at daycare but never on the weekends or when she's at home. But she has always been low sleep needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351852 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:40:54 +0000 Bao 2351852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: she wakes up crabby half of the time haha! Yeah I guess the hours are good I just don't like the timing of it, leaves me with about an hour at night to myself and that's not much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351847 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:38:08 +0000 hilsy85 2351847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like 11 hours of sleep total, which is pretty good and about what my LO gets, just on a different schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earlier-bedtime#post-2351835 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:22:25 +0000 Bao 2351835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had success adjusting their LO's bedtime to an earlier time? My 3 year old hasn't been falling asleep until after 9. She wakes up in the 8am hour and does not take naps. I feel like that's a pretty late bedtime for her age considering she goes to school and doesn't nap. </p> <p>Any advice? Or does this sound like it's in the normal range for her age? </p>
