When he napped he went to bed around 8:30/9. With no nap, he is usually asleep by 6:45/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-no-naps-earlier-bedtime#post-2555167 Tue, 24 May 2016 06:19:36 +0000 looch 2555167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of knew it was time to drop the nap when it was taking my son over an hour to fall asleep. Bedtime remained more or less the same time (by 730). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-no-naps-earlier-bedtime#post-2555163 Tue, 24 May 2016 06:11:27 +0000 ValentineMommy 2555163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! For us it did.</p> <p>DS1 has always been a good napper, so his nap would last 2-3 hours. Then it'd be bedtime (8:30 at the latest) and he wouldn't be able to fall asleep until 10. We got rid of the naps, and now he's asleep with 5 min of hitting the pillow (between 8 and 8:30) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-no-naps-earlier-bedtime#post-2555136 Tue, 24 May 2016 03:42:00 +0000 Pumuckl 2555136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we have no nap days (so basically every weekend) he goes to bed 1h-1.5h earlier than on a nap day. So on a nap day he falls asleep somewhere between 8:30-8:45pm and on a no nap day he is out by 7-7:30pm at the latest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-no-naps-earlier-bedtime#post-2555103 Mon, 23 May 2016 22:32:41 +0000 AprilFool 2555103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it did. When she was napping she had a 7pm bedtime, when she stopped napping 7pm became a nightmare, screaming, not listening and it would be nearly 8 before she settled down. Moved bedtime to 6 and now no screaming and minimal whinging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-no-naps-earlier-bedtime#post-2555081 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:49:30 +0000 kiddosc 2555081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you adjust your child's bedtime when they stopped napping? </p> <p>E just turned 4 and doesn't nap most days. He lays down, but only sleeps about a third of the time. We've been having a lot of behavioral problems in the evenings, not listening, purposely defying us, shouting, acting crazy. After exhausting other options I threatened him with going to bed early tonight and had to follow through, resulting in him going to bed about 45 min early. He was asleep in 5 minutes and hasn't moved. I'm thinking his bedtime might need to be adjusted now that he doesn't nap? </p>
