Does this schedule look right to you all?!
« on: November 28, 2006, 19:28:49 pm »
Okay, my ds is 26 months and his sleep schedule looks like this:

Wake at 6AM
Nap at 12:30 - 3/3:30
Bed at 7/7:30

Is this enough sleep or too much?  Should we cut the nap down?  How can we extend the morning sleep time.  He seems to wake at 6 no matter what time he goes to bed.  :(  I would be happy if he would just return to waking at 6:30.  Why has he started waking at 6 instead of 6:30.

I think the total sleep time looks good.  If he has started to wake early maybe he needs a bit more time before his nap and you gould try pushing it back.  Other than the earlier wakeup has anything else changed ie. bed/sleeptime, nap time or duration?

Does he sleep through the night?  You could try altering his nap time, but to be honest, if he sleeps through the night, then I wouldn't mess him about for the sake of half an hour, 6am is not too early a wake up time (IMHO), I would just go to bed a bit earlier!!

He has started a new daycare and then this past weekend we transitioned him into a new room and a big boy bed.  We actually do go to bed early as I wake to go to the gym at 5AM each morning.  I just liked getting back home before he woke up.  I am sure my husband liked that as well.  As far as pushing the nap back...he seems very tired by 12:30 and that is his daycare schedule as well.  Plus, I like him up by 3:30 since he goes to bed around 7.

Does he seem well rested?  Sounds like a pretty good routine to me....

As his daytime schedule suits you then I wouldn't try to change anything. 
TBH, with the sleep problems that I have had with Alex, I would be really happy with your schedule!!!  Thankfully she is ok now, but yours does seem quite good.  As he gets a little older, he might just stay a little while longer (hopefully)

Thank you soooo much ladies.  I have to say it seems about right on to me too.  Some people just seem so shocked when I say he wakes at that time, but that somewhat suits us.  We go to bed early so I would hate to shift the whole schedule back.  I like a bit of time to myself before I hit the hay!

How are you getting on with the big boy bed.  I think I got confused with your 2 posts earlier and answered both.
