Is it possible 15 month old only needs 10 hrs sleep per night?

[Cnix]

Dd has always been early riser. We managed to get her sleeping til 6 meaning she was having 11 hrs per night and that was great. Now she seems to think she's had enough sleep at five am and happily babbles to herself until about 5:45am. Obviously once she's awake we can't get back to sleep and it's killing us :-(((.

Is there anything we could do or do we just suck it up as she seems happy?

DS2 was and is like this.

He has an 8pm bedtime which means that we get until 6am most days.

Thanks. Was wondering about gradually shifting things to get to later bedtime. It's just so hard as she's exhausted after nursery and would go down for the night at 6 if I let her.

Does she nap at nursery? Can you get them to move her nap a bit later in the day so that you can do a slightly later bedtime?

DS is almost 16mo and has been waking at 5am for about a month. He falls asleep between 7-730 so has 10 hrs. He has about 2-2.5 hrs naps during the day over two naps. I too wonder if 10 hrs is enough but he's given plenty of opportunity to sleep longer so I just have to assume this is enough for him. He used to to wake 6/630 when he woke 2/3 a time to bf and now that he's night weaned he sleeps 10 hrs straight, so I guess 5am wake up is just his old 6am wake up adjusted to the more condensed sleeping.

I wonder if reducing his day time naps would mean he'd take some of his total 12 hrs at night time, and have the same over all, but I don't know.

I hate the 5am wake up s as he just cries til we get him so no chance of ignoring him.

DD is only a year old and she only sleeps about 10.5 hours at night (7.45-8 bedtime, 6.20 ish wake up) and that's not including time spent awake during the night. at the moment she is awake for up to an hour in total during the night, sigh. she only has 1.5-2 hours sleep during the day as well. She seems pretty happy on this and is incredibly active so again I just have to assume this is enough. some babies just need less.

Yup. DD has only been getting 10 hours sleep since about 10 months. Bed at 7, not asleep until 7.30-8.00, then awake between 5-5.30. She is coping far better than we are! I keep hoping it will suddenly pass, but now over 4 months on she is still the same

Yep, DD has always been a maximum ten hours overnight sleeper. She is 2.3 though and still has a nap, so I've got everything crossed that she drops her nap and this will extend her sleep time sometime in the next year. Putting her to bed late doesn't work, she just gets up at the same time tired and grumpy

My 15month old ds sleeps from about 7:15 to about 5:45, we often have to resettle him around 5am. For months 5am was his wake up and get up time and it was a killer. He sleeps for about 2-2.5 hours when a nursery, but at home I usually have to wake him after 3 hours nap. Like other posters I have thought about reducing daytime naps but on the occasions where he had less nap time, he still only sleeps 10-10.5 hours a night but is just more grumpy during the day. So i don't think it's worth it!
