Bedtime is 7:30, they get up at 6:45. LO1 doesn't nap at school, but will occasionally on the weekend. LO2 naps 1.5 hours at school fairly consistently, but has occasionally not napped (but still has quiet time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711480 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 13:22:00 +0000 yin 2711480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 is almost 6 and LO2 is 3.

Plus, they probably didn't nap with you. So maybe they do get enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711192 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 05:51:41 +0000 Pumuckl 2711192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nearly 4 year old goes to sleep at around 7:30pm normally.

But since the time change, we have struggled to get her to sleep...tonight was 8:45. Hope she adjusts soon....she's also been sleeping till 7, so it's not all bad. But we are up early for work anyway, so we'd prefer she was asleep earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711152 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:51:59 +0000 matador84 2711152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: I agree, BUT they do get a 1.5 hour nap at school! I might ask their teachers if we can try and forego naps so I can get them to bed earlier. It will be tough but I'm trying to think ahead--I'm due with a 3rd in late September and need them to be up and at 'em! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711149 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:32:22 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2711149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My four year old goes in her room to bed with her younger sibling at 7 (really 7-730 but the past week we've been going by 715) but she doesn't usually fall asleep for awhile. She's usually up by 7 the next morning. No naps. I'm thinking I might let her stay up later on the weekends, but I think anything after around 8 and she does sleep longer the next day. I think the latest she's slept in has been 8 recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711147 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:32:12 +0000 Grace 2711147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 yo, bed at 7:30 and up at 7. She isn't napping often anymore. Unfortunatly, I think that your kids naturally getting almost 12 hr sleep shows you that they want more than the 10.5 hr they are getting normally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711146 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:28:33 +0000 dolphin 2711146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4 and goes to bed between 7:30-8 and I wake her up at 7 for school.

She is asleep between 8 and 8:30 and her sleep is all overt place. Last week she was getting up at 6-6:30am but after daylight saving she has been sleeping in until 7:30...and waking up very reluctantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711144 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:20:56 +0000 brownepiano 2711144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My just turned 3 year old goes to bed between 6:30 and 7 pm. He wakes up before 7 am, I think around 6:30, some days as early as 5, but stays in his room till 7. </p> <p>He stays in his room for a two hour nap but often plays for at least 30 mins of it. </p> <p>I suspect that he is awake for a while on some nights before going to sleep but he stays quiet so we can't be sure. I teach out of our home so later bedtimes are not an option right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711115 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 20:14:54 +0000 caterw 2711115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD goes to bed at 830 and wakes up between 645-730 every day. Sometimes she naps for 2 hours and sometimes not, but she doesn't fall asleep earlier or sleep in when she skips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711113 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 20:09:49 +0000 Silva 2711113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 4 year old doesn't napped, hasn't consistently napped in a year. She goes to bed at around 6:30 and sleeps until 6:15. Sometimes she goes to bed at 6:00 if she's really tired. Once In awhile she sleeps in a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711112 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 20:06:09 +0000 fancyfunction 2711112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old is in bed between 6:30/7 and is up around the same time, so she gets a good 12 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711079 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 19:07:21 +0000 bhbee 2711079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once my 5yo dropped her nap at 3.5 she started sleeping (or I should say staying in her room at least) from 7:15ish to 7. I think she usually sleeps a bit less than that but it also gives her time to wake up slowly. First we did ok to wake clock until she could read a digital clock. I'm going to have to start waking her up next year for kinder but hopefully it will be ok by then to get up a bit earlier. Same bedtime I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711072 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 18:54:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2711072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B turned 3 in January. He still naps, but I think we're on borrowed time - it takes him longer and longer to fall asleep. He usually gets 60-90 minutes in, though. He goes to bed at 7:30, and we have to wake him up at 6 and he's usually terribly grumpy about it. It makes me feel terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-3-5-year-olds-sleep-like#post-2711062 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 18:42:07 +0000 lilteacherbee 2711062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old sleeps 8:30pm-7:30/8am and naps for 1-1.5 hours in the afternoon. When he goes to preschool (3 days/week), he has to be up by 7:30, but sometimes on non-school days, he'll sleep until 8:30 🙌🏻 </p>
