Right now, my 3 year old is sleeping approx. 12 hours overnight. Naps are hit or miss, but when she naps it's usually for at least 2 hours so I'm wondering if she's sleep deprived...

Well I have a 2 1/2 year old and I would say your 3 year old gets more sleep than she does. We are lucky to get an hour nap out of her, and she sleeps 11 hours or so overnight.

About the same. Maybe a little less. He's usually in bed around 8:30 and up around 7, so I guess that's only 10.5 hours. Some days he naps, some days he doesn't, but it's not because he fights them -- just other commitments like preschool, a gym class, etc. When he naps, it's usually for at least two hours.
I always try to get him in bed closer to 8 but almost always fail! And it might be closer to 9 the days he does nap.

We have nightly struggles to get him in bed every night. The kid.does.not.want.to.sleep!!! It's usually between 9-9:30 when he passes out and we get him up at 6:30am. At daycare he will nap for 2 hours but refuses to nap at home on the weekend!

Just turned 3, but his naps for the past year or so have been 11ish hours overnight (9pm to 8am) and about a 2 hour afternoon nap. Compared to our baby, it's glorious!

My 2.5 year old gets less sleep than that! Usually 11 overnight (last night it was 10.5) and a 60 minute nap.

Umm my 3yo hates sleep. The struggle is real.
She goes to bed around 10-11 and is up around 7:30-8.

Sleep is the hardest thing that we have to deal with and we are trying to figure it out. He is 3.5 years old. He has been going to sleep sometime between 9 and 10 pm (closer to 10) and waking up at 8 am for a total of 10 hours. Then 1.5 - 2 hour nap at school. So somewhere between 11.5 and 12 hours a day/night.
We decided over the holiday maybe that he doesn't need a nap so we pulled it. He went down at 8:00 pm and woke up at 7:00 am. So 11 hours of sleep at night (and I got 2 hours back). He has been taking a 1 hour nap at school (quiet time at home) for a total of 12 hours of sleep a day.
I'm not sure which one is better but figure the 8:00 pm gives me time back and he is a whiny mess no matter what.

She's 3 years 2 months and rarely naps anymore. Bedtime is 7pm and she usually wakes up around 8am - so 13 hours is the norm. But 3 days a week I wake her at 7:15 for school so she gets a little less sleep those days. I still do 1.5 hours of quiet time and pray she doesn't fall asleep bc if she does bedtime gets pushed pretty late
