I've got my 2 kids (3y4m, 10m) sleeping each night from at least 8pm-6:30am, it's great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554818 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:47:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2554818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554813 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:45:06 +0000 LindsayLou 2554813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time sleep. My 9 month old is a terrible napper...but she only wakes once at night to nurse, and even sttn for a while. I'd rather be well rested and have the patience to deal with crappy naps than the alternative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554811 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:43:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2554811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely overnight. I get so little sleep on a day-to-day basis it's comical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554808 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:40:55 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2554808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it's day time I want more nap time. When it's night time I want more overnight sleep. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554806 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:39:35 +0000 autumnlove 2554806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 3 STTN in her crib but does not nap well at home so better naps for sure. Another arms or car napper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554805 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:39:00 +0000 jape14 2554805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>overnight for sure. DS (21mo) regularly sleeps 12-12.5 hours overnight but his naps are usually right around 1.5 hours (which I know a lot of people consider "short"). if I was a SAHM I might prefer longer naps, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554803 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:37:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2554803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been getting up earlier and napping longer than normal (2 hours instead of 1ish). I think I'd rather him sleep 8-7 and nap from 1-2. Instead of 8-550 and napping 1-3 or 330 like today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554799 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:33:52 +0000 pastemoo 2554799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: over night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554790 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:25:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2554790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sleep longer at night for sure! I WOH so I only have the weekends with the napping. She avg 1.5 so it's decent. I'd love nigh time to be 12 :happy: She usually does 10-11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554788 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:24:24 +0000 Truth Bombs 2554788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this exact moment (always subject to change for the baby) both my kids sleep beautifully at night. My 3.5 year old does 12 hours, and my 6 month old does 12 hours with one quick wake up to nurse around 3:30/4am. The older one also naps beautifully (I regularly have to wake her up at the 3 hour mark). But the baby naps like CRAP at home. Basically will only sleep in the car or in my arms. So better naps for the baby would be my choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554787 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:24:10 +0000 edelweiss 2554787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd more more overnight sleep. like you, i used to really love the nap. but now that LO is 3.5 and doesn't really need the afternoon nap, i much prefer that he goes to bed at 7.30 or 8 so i can have my alone time. when he naps at daycare, he doesn't fall asleep until 9pm, which is NOT COOL since i get up around 5.30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-more-napping-or-more-overnight-sleep#post-2554784 Mon, 23 May 2016 14:20:41 +0000 winniebee 2554784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to love long naps for my kiddo! But now that only one naps, I would prefer a regular length (or even shorter) nap and more night sleep. Right now, DS2 is sleeping around 10 hours at night, but naps 2.5 hours or more. I wish it were like 10.5/11 at night and 2 during the day :) </p>
