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

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.

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.

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
She usually does 10-11.

@winniebee: over night!
-
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!

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.

LO 3 STTN in her crib but does not nap well at home so better naps for sure. Another arms or car napper.
-
When it's day time I want more nap time. When it's night time I want more overnight sleep.
-
Definitely overnight. I get so little sleep on a day-to-day basis it's comical.
-
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.

Night!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERNIGHT, hands down. I've got my 2 kids (3y4m, 10m) sleeping each night from at least 8pm-6:30am, it's great.

I have a night owl who doesn't fall asleep (no matter what time she's actually in bed) until after 9:30, so I'd happily trade her 1.5-2 hour nap for an earlier bedtime.
