My LO is usually awake roughly from 7 to 1:30. Lately he usually naps until 4, and I try to have him in bed by 8:30.

So 6.5 hours before nap, 4.5 hours after.

2 years old (but has been this way since around 15 months).

Wake up 5:30-6
Nap 11:30-12 ish

So she's awake for about 6 hours before nap.

She goes to bed around 8pm, so she's awake for another 6 hours or so after that.

My son is 2.5 and he wakes up around 6 in the morning and is ready for his nap at 12:30.

It varies from day to day. She gets up around 515 am and goes to sleep around 12ish. Since she gets up so early there are days where she still take two naps. On days where she only naps once it is for 3 hours, which I love

Eta- almost 2

My DD is 12 months and wakes up at around 7/7:30 and takes her nap at 12:30 Ito 2:30) and then goes to bed at 7:30. So about 5 hours of wake time before nap and after nap.

She just recently went to a 1 nap routine because of daycare. She takes 2 naps during the weekends though.

LATE nap here.. up at 630 or 7, nap at 3ish, 90 minutes only, and bed at 8 or 9ish.

Ha ha. I was goint to finish the sentence with, "are evil." She has 6.5 hours before nap, and then 6 hours before bed. 16 months. We are just struggling with no time to deal with family stuff after kids are in bed. Which is why I am awake right now.

@sloaneandpuffy: how old is your LO? I think we're headed in this direction. 6-6.5 hours of awake time for my almost 21 months seems to be too short (even though I need a break by then!)...so she doesn't nap sometimes...I think I may have to keep her up so she's tired for naptime bc she just plays in her crib some days...she used to nap so well...it's been nap chaos for the past week.

Currently at almost 21 months she wakes up around 8:00 and I try to put her down around 2:00/2:30 (so about 6 hours of awake time)...and I don't let her sleep past 5:00 so she'll have at least 3 hours before bedtime at 8:00. This used to work great, but lately she's not tired for naptime. I may have to start waking her in the morning... Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

To specifically answer your questions:

How many hours are they awake before their nap?
6:30 am - 12:30/1:30 pm = 6-7 hours

And then how many hours are they awake until bedtime?
3:30 pm - 8:30 pm = 5 hours

She's 31 months old.

LO wakes up around 7 and naps between 1-2. He will take a 2 hour nap and goes down to bed anywhere from 9-10 unfortunately.

6-7 hours awake before nap and 6 hours awake before bedtime. LO is 27 months old, and I'm starting to get rid of nap time in hopes of his night sleep improving. So far no luck on that front though. My kid doesn't like sleep.

DS is 23 months old. He wakes up around 8:00 or 8:30 each morning and goes down for his nap between 1:00 and 1:30. I try to aim for 1:00. He's awake for about 5 hours before his nap. I wake him at 3:30 if he doesn't wake up on his own by that point. He normally goes to bed around 8:00 each night but it's been closer to 8:30 lately.

LO is 16 months and has been on one nap since about 9 months.

Wake-up: 7:30ish
Nap: 1-3ish
Bed: 7:30ish

So her wake intervals are somewhere around 5-6 hours and then 4-5 hours.

Since about 15 months old (now 2.5 yrs) C wakes between 5 and 6am, naps from 1-3pm and goes down for the night between 7 and 8pm.

She's usually awake 4-5 hours the first stretch and then 4-5 the second. She gets up anywhere between 7-8 am, takes a nap at 12/1 for about 2 hours and then goes to bed at 7.
