Bedtime is 7pm and she usually wakes up around 8am - so 13 hours is the norm. But 3 days a week I wake her at 7:15 for school so she gets a little less sleep those days. I still do 1.5 hours of quiet time and pray she doesn't fall asleep bc if she does bedtime gets pushed pretty late </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017605 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:20:16 +0000 brownie 2017605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep is the hardest thing that we have to deal with and we are trying to figure it out. He is 3.5 years old. He has been going to sleep sometime between 9 and 10 pm (closer to 10) and waking up at 8 am for a total of 10 hours. Then 1.5 - 2 hour nap at school. So somewhere between 11.5 and 12 hours a day/night.</p> <p>We decided over the holiday maybe that he doesn't need a nap so we pulled it. He went down at 8:00 pm and woke up at 7:00 am. So 11 hours of sleep at night (and I got 2 hours back). He has been taking a 1 hour nap at school (quiet time at home) for a total of 12 hours of sleep a day. </p> <p>I'm not sure which one is better but figure the 8:00 pm gives me time back and he is a whiny mess no matter what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017321 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:22:18 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2017321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm my 3yo hates sleep. The struggle is real.</p> <p>She goes to bed around 10-11 and is up around 7:30-8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017294 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:02:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2017294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old gets less sleep than that! Usually 11 overnight (last night it was 10.5) and a 60 minute nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017269 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:51:46 +0000 lemondrop 2017269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just turned 3, but his naps for the past year or so have been 11ish hours overnight (9pm to 8am) and about a 2 hour afternoon nap. Compared to our baby, it's glorious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017261 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:48:22 +0000 MamaG 2017261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 3.5 and sleeps about 10 hours at night and naps are 1.5-2 hours most days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017179 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:17:45 +0000 Canoli 2017179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have nightly struggles to get him in bed every night. The kid.does.not.want.to.sleep!!! It's usually between 9-9:30 when he passes out and we get him up at 6:30am. At daycare he will nap for 2 hours but refuses to nap at home on the weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017035 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:24:52 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2017035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About the same. Maybe a little less. He's usually in bed around 8:30 and up around 7, so I guess that's only 10.5 hours. Some days he naps, some days he doesn't, but it's not because he fights them -- just other commitments like preschool, a gym class, etc. When he naps, it's usually for at least two hours.</p> <p>I always try to get him in bed closer to 8 but almost always fail! And it might be closer to 9 the days he does nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017034 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:24:49 +0000 autumnlove 2017034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>anywhere between 11-12 hours a night! naps are about 2 hours on most days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017032 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:24:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 2017032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I have a 2 1/2 year old and I would say your 3 year old gets more sleep than she does. We are lucky to get an hour nap out of her, and she sleeps 11 hours or so overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-does-your-3-year-old-sleep#post-2017029 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:22:18 +0000 pinkcupcake 2017029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, my 3 year old is sleeping approx. 12 hours overnight. Naps are hit or miss, but when she naps it's usually for at least 2 hours so I'm wondering if she's sleep deprived... </p>
