short naps after st!
« on: September 08, 2014, 21:30:42 pm »
So. Ds now is an independent sleeper.  At last! And now he can have a decent bt, by 6.30pm and he usually has a good 12h sleep. Only now his ns is more than ns and naps combined pre-st. Now naps are 35min where they were 1h10-25min.
Ds is on 3-3.5h A.
Dyt this is a total sleep needs issue or an A Time thing? Help please!

Congrats on the st! Well done you!

The A times look good for his age. However, as he used to take 1hr 10/25 naps before I'm thinking his sleep cycle may actually be 35mins so he may be slightly UT? Could try adding an extra 10mins onto them and seeing if it helps? My DD always needed slightly higher than the average A too to get decent naps in.

Good thing is he is tacking on the missed sleep during nt in the meantime though. You may find as you increase the A times the nt sleep gets a little shorter as the day gets longer x

Thanks! To confuse things more, after 2h45m A yesterday first nap was 1h15m, second A 3h35m and second nap 1h20m! Final A to bed 3h30m.
Fully confused!
