DD will only have 1 nap 😩

My DD decided about a month ago that she only wants one nap a day. On very odd occasions I can time this right, she'll go to sleep after lunch for a couple hours and then to bed at 7.
But most of the time she'll fall asleep before lunch, only have just over an hour, presumably she wakes up as shes hungry for lunch and then we spend the whole afternoon miserable because shes overtired but wont have another nap. On very rare occasions she does have a second nap it's too late in the day for her to be sleeping and she will then refuse to go to bed until gone 10pm.
She doesnt sleep well at night on one nap either, she goes down at 7 and is always awake before I've even reached my bedtime which isn't late lol.
Will this get easier over the coming weeks as she adjusts to one nap or am I doomed for these never ending days of a whiny overtired toddler? 😭
She's 13 months btw.

Only one nap sounds about normal for that age to be honest. I have a 14 month old. I’m in a group of 15 mums with babies born in the same month. I think only two of them are still having two naps a day.
