When is your kids nap and bed time?

[kimandkathess]

I thought it would be fun and informative to see when everyone else did "nap time" AND "bed time" I was told today that I had an odd nap time....ok, but this came from someone who doesnt have a set nap time or bed time for their kids. I feel that routine is best. Does anyone else think its easier to have your kids on a routine? I know with twins and a 6 yr old it is.

I lay the twins down to nap at 12:30 and they sleep untill 2:00 or 2:30 (they are 2 1/2)
AND
They all go to bed at 9pm everynight. Unless its the weekend, the six yr old gets to stay up later.

So how about everyone else?

Good idea
I only have one DD, 14mo. I have been told how crazy I am to let my baby go to bed so late.....I have no set schedule and let her sleep when she wants hehe.I know I prly should have a schedule, think I would if i had more kids. Usually DD takes nap around 1p for an hr then again around 5p for an hr. Bedtime usually falls around 9:30p if I'm lucky (tends to stay up till after 10p). At least she has always slept all night and wakes up around 9p which is good enough for me.

My son wakes up around 6:30-7:00 and naps at 10:30ish for about 2.5-3 hours and is sleeping by 7:30-8:00 every night. My mom was telling me that he naps too early in the morning that it should be around 12:30 but he is so tired and cranky past 11 it's tough to keep him up...

DS is almost 2.5

Wakes up for the day @ 6:30-7am

Nap from 11am - 12:30ish

Bedtime is 8pm


DD is 5 months and naps at will. Bedtime is roughly 8:30-9pm.

Jack is 3. He goes down every day between 12 and 1 pm. It's a beautiful thing. I will be sad when it's over. He sleeps for around hours.

My son is almost 20 mos and he wakes up in the morning around 6-6:30a, goes down for his nap usually around 12:30p and will sleep till about 2:30-3p, and his bedtime is between 7-8p depending on when his dad gets home. His bedtime got later after we moved across the country, but we got a new routine in place again. I think having a routine makes my days easier. I don't have to worry about when he gets a nap or not, the time is set and he is willing to go down at that time.

Nap time? When they finally run out of energy, if ever!
Bed time? My 12 yr old and 10 yr old 10 on school nights. They get up at 7. The 3.5 yr old will maybe pass out finally around midnight and is back up running at 7-8. The 2 yr old goes to sleep around 9:30-10. She gets up between 8-9.
Summer time we have no bed time!!! We run and play til we can't no more. It's fun!

Nap time?? WHAT nap time?? LOL Ds who is 3 1/2 hasn't had a nap during the day since he was about 18 mos. old. And when he was that age, nap time was maybe 30 min. He averages about 6-8 hrs of sleep a day. *sigh* No matter what we do he won't go down till midnight, 1 am and is up usually around 7:30am - 8:30 am... every.... single.... day..... has been this way for what seems like FOREVER!!!

As for the girls who are 8 1/2 yrs & 6 yrs, on a school night, bedtime is around 8pm and they get up at 6:45 am for the bus. During the wkends and when school is out, bedtime is usually around 9:30pm, occasionally a little later.
