When he naps it's usually for 2 hours and he'll sleep about 9 overnight.

She usually naps at daycare (1-1 1/2 hours) and we do see her falling apart more in days without a nap at daycare. </p> <p>I used to obsess about how little sleep she got but I have accepted that she just has low sleep needs as she is happy and fairly well-regulated most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252259 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 00:42:25 +0000 yin 2252259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had dropped his nap by 3 and would get around 11 hours of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252244 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 23:28:07 +0000 BeachMama 2252244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 3 yrs 2 months. She goes to bed around 8:30-9:00 and wakes from 6:30-7:30 (so about 9-10 at night) and naps from 0-2 hrs during the day. I feel like she doesn't get enough because she always has dark circles under her eyes. But even if we put her to bed early she usually rolls around til 9ish. </p> <p>For a month or so she was waking at 6:00. I taped newspaper over he windows to see if it was the light waking her up and she went back to sleeping til about 7:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252221 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:02:11 +0000 cascademom 2252221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 year old (later this month} sleeps 9pm-7am with a varying nap of 45 minutes to 2 hours. He's difficult when he doesn't get a nap, but stalls a lot during bedtime routine where he's cutting into valuable sleep time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252170 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:31:48 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2252170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9-10 hrs at night and 1.5-2 hrs nap.

Most weekdays she will take a 1.5-2 hr nap but the weekends (when DH and I are home) are hit or miss. When she doesn't nap she falls asleep a lot faster but will still only get 10-11 hours at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252096 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:53:14 +0000 Veggiemama 2252096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old sleeps 8:30-7:30 am with no nap.

I think as long as they aren't a total monster, they are prob getting enough. Mine will be 3 in November and she averages 10 at night (8:30-6:30) and 1.5-2nap, so around 11.5-12 hours a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252076 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 18:01:15 +0000 winniebee 2252076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't nap and sleeps 10-11 hours overnight.

He naps for a couple hours in the afternoon. He never seems tired though so it must be enough for him! He literally is running all day too! So. Much. Energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252018 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 15:43:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2252018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39 months and she sleeps about 10.5 at night and 1.5 nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252016 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 15:39:44 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2252016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not average, but I do think it's normal. My lo sleep a ton (not quite 3). 11ish at night with a 2+ hr nap most days. But my good friend was never ever able to get her daughter to sleep a lot no matter what she tries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2252002 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 15:07:58 +0000 Jess1483 2252002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, but I'd love to know the answer if you find it. A typical day for my 2.75 year-old is sleep 8-5:30, regardless of a nap or not. And if he does nap, it's an hour. I KNOW it's not enough sleep for him. I'd love to get him down earlier, but it's just not going to happen, especially with a 6 week-old to deal with, too.</p> <p>Occasionally, he'll sleep until 6:30, but even then that's 10.5 hours in 24. If he wakes at 5:30, he'll lay in bed silently for another hour until his light comes on, but he won't go back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-of-sleep-doesdid-your-3-year-old-get#post-2251999 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 15:05:12 +0000 Freckles 2251999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No matter what, my three year old will wake up anywhere from 6 to 6:45. </p> <p>Last night she got 9 hours of sleep, which means I let her nap for 1-1.5 hours. I'm finding that lately she only gets 10ish hours of sleep. If she doesn't nap, she starts to crash at 4pm and turns into a scary monster. </p> <p>Even when she doesn't take a nap, she will only sleep 10 hours at night. One time she went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 7:15! Once in a while if she wakes up at 6, I can get her to fall asleep by 7, and she will sleep for another 1-1.5 hours.</p> <p>Is it normal to have this little sleep? Is she not stimulated enough? There shouldn't be any environmental reasons waking her up - we have blackout shades, white noise, etc. </p>
