Later and later. Last weekend she slept in until 1015.

Early! He used to wake up between 5-6 regularly. Now at 15 months, he usually wakes up between 6 -6:30.

My daughter has shifted over time, lately sleeping until 6 or 7, depending on bedtime and such. Her constant has always been very low sleep needs. 10 - 12 total hours daily, all of her life. 9-10 hours overnight, 1 or 2 for a nap, daily. Just like her father, and it serves him well. I'm so jealous of people with toddlers who sleep 7-7, though. My daughter is still happily bouncing off the walls at nearly 10, right now. And she'll be up by 7, whenever she goes to sleep.

Early! She hasn't slept past 6am in loooong time. Apparently she takes after me... Darn!

I'm a bit confused about this. Generally I don't like to get up before six so if my LO wakes up earlier or at this time I will just feed him and put him back to bed as I would a night time feed. When we're ready to get up (at about seven or eight) we'll get ready for the day. If you have an early riser does that mean they just won't go back to sleep?

Average. Always been around 7/7:30, except for the first few days after a time change.

She's only 4.5 months old but seems to be a relatively late riser-- usually wakes between 7:30 and 8:30 for the day.

@mamainprogress: Yeah I'm a little confused too-- basically, if she wakes up before I think it's time to wake up (before 7) then I go in, feed her in the pitch dark, and put her back in her crib. Even if it's 6 am she will usually go back to sleep, it's pretty rare that she will stay up. And if she doesn't go back to sleep, it's DH's turn since she's no longer hungry anyway.

@mamainprogress: @Foodnerd81: I wish I could just feed DS and put him back to sleep. When he wakes up, he is UP for the day! As in not sleepy, bouncing up and down, ready to start the day and play. He's pretty much been like this since birth. I always thought babies slept a lot. In my house, that's a myth!

@mamainprogress: You'll understand it if you ever have a child who is unwilling to go back to sleep and screams/fusses rather than falls back asleep or chills in the crib. (And I hope that you never have to understand it - it sucks).

C has always been an early riser, and it sucks. At almost 19 months, I am THRILLED on days he sleeps until 6 am. We had one freak day last weekend where he slept until 8, and I couldn't believe it. My body is so programmed now to wake at 5:40 that I couldn't sleep in anyways...

N is definitely an early riser and treating that first wake up as an extension of night does. not. work! He'll just scream (and he can really keep it up). He's incredibly happy when he wakes up at 5am and ready to go! I'm hoping as he gets older, he'll be able to sleep in a little longer!
