How many hours a day of sleep should a 3 yr old be getting? DS is giving up his nap and now his sleep is screwed up (getting up REALLY early). I try putting him to be much earlier but that isn't working (still getting up at 5 a.m.). Should I try putting him to bed at his regular time and see if he wakes up more like he used to (which was more like 7 a.m.)? Anyone BTDT? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Once she stopped napping, did you change her bedtime? It seems like right when DS gave up his nap, he started waking up early, so he's really sleep deprived compared to what he used to get. [ Reply | More

During the time that my 3 yo was transitioning out of her nap it was really hellish. She was very sleep deprived. Either she would conk out at 6 pm and wake up at 10 pm for a few hours, or she would go right to bed at 730 pm and sleep until 5 or 530 am. Just do your best to keep a routine and avoid letting them nap late in the afternoon. Eventually, we settled into a 730 pm bedtime and my former early bird will sleep until 830 or 9 am. Unfortunately for me, I know have a 2 you who gets up at 545 am everyday. [ Reply | More

Thank you so much. Sounds similar to what he's going through. I will try to stick to his normal bedtime and pray that he eventually works back to around 7a.m. This early stuff is really killing me! [ Reply | More
