What sort of sleep/ nap schedules do you all have your toddlers on?
How many hours of sleep in 24 hrs does your toddler get?
What time is bedtime?
What time do they wake up?
When do they go to sleep for nap?
Our nap time and sleep schedule has deteriorated lately, and was never that great to start with. I am looking to compare to other moms of kids the same age, and then try to turn things back around based on the responses I get. I know every kid is different, I am just looking for what others have done and how it works for them, so I can get some general idea of where to start.
Thanks ladies- you all have always been so helpful here on mamasource :)

What can I do next?

My 2 1/2 year old goes to bed between 7/7:30pm and sleeps until 7/7:30am. She generally goes down for her nap at 1pm and gets up somewhere between 3-4pm.

My 2 year old goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00. He either wakes up or I get him up around 6:45 in the morning. Nap time is usually around 1:00 on the weekends and 12:30 at daycare. He usually sleeps right around 2 hours during nap time. I hope this helps.

My son is also almost 2.5 and goes to bed between 7/7:30 each night..he typically wakes up around 6:30/7. He naps from about 12:30-2 or sometimes a little longer. And we are pretty strict with his naps...we make sure to be at home each day by these times so he can follow this schedule consistently for nap as well as bedtime.

My two year old sleeps for 11 hours at night and has a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, usually. So he usually gets 13 hours of sleep a day.
We try to have him in bed between 7 - 7:30 pm... depends on how tired he looks. He usually is asleep by 8 pm. He wakes up on his own in the morning around 7 am.
He sleeps his nap from 1 to 3 pm, usually. Sometimes he gets tired earlier. Sometimes he's not tired at all (if he gets no nap we put him to bed earlier).

Our son's schedule is kind of different in the fact that he naps better at daycare than at home. At daycare he is in a pack-n-play at home he is in his toddler bed.
Daycare - nap 11:30/12-2
Home - nap - in his room from about 12-2 or later if he falls asleep
In 24 hours he gets about 12 hours
He goes to bed about 8pm (then plays for up to 30/45 minutes) and is up about 6:15 AM to go to daycare. On the weekends he wakes up anywere from 5 - 7:30 depending on his day. He is not as predictable as he used to be and he just turned 2. Hope that helps.
