Can you kindly share what time your two year olds get up/go to bed, and what time they nap and for how long?

I am losing my mind from getting up at 4:30 everyday. I can't figure out if the 4:30 waking is because they have had a full night's sleep or if it just happens to be a time where they get awake and need to figure out how to soothe back to sleep. Or maybe the nap is just in the wrong place and screwing everything up.

I have a copy of Healthy Sleep Habits but I could really use real life examples.

Thanks!

Mine were born 2/12/08 so are a little older than yours.Of my 3, two generally sleep better. Last night they went down around 8P (a little late for us) and they are usually up around 6:45A. The other one will go down with her siblings, but somewhere around 4A will wake and be hungry or thirsty. Sometimes I can convince her to go back down in the crib, and sometimes it's my bed, but she'll sleep for another couple of hours. They typically nap between 11A-1P. They wake at the same time even if I put them down later for the nap. Good luck!

Our kids get up between 7:30 and 8:00. They go down for a nap between noon and 1:00 (and usually laugh and play for a while), and get up around 3:30 - 4:30. Dinner is around 7:00, followed by bed.
