Is my 19 month old getting enough sleep?

[TheSunComesUp]

Routine is as follows

7am - We wake her up mostly, on rare occasions she's already awake

12:30pm - 2pm/2:30pm - Nap. She mainly naps for 90 minutes, sometimes 2 hours and I feel she needs the 2 hours or is unhappy

8pm - Put down for bed, falls asleep between 8:15pm and 8:30pm

The reason I wonder if she is getting enough sleep is because everyday we will head out in the car on a 15-20 minute journey and she falls asleep. This can be anywhere between 9:30am and 11am so isn't exactly too close to her nap. Is this normal? Does she need more sleep somewhere? I've tried putting her down half an hour earlier at 7:30pm, but then she wakes up earlier in the morning. We also have the odd occasion of her waking around 4am for an hour. I don't want to let her sleep in any later than 7am otherwise the day runs really late and she misses baby classes etc

This is similar to my eighteen month old’s routine. Up at 7 (but often awake from 6.30). Nap for two hours at 12.30 ish. The only difference is he goes to bed at 6.30 - 6.45pm. I do think he needs that longer sleep at night as he goes straight off when he goes down.

He does often fall asleep if we’re in the car for any length of time around 10.30 - 11.30 too though!

@goingcrackers I can't believe your son naps for 2 hours until 2:30pm and then seems to do a 12 hour stretch from around 6:30pm. My daughter would never go down that early, and if she did she'd be up around 5am! Feeling a little bit jealous right now

@TheSunComesUp Ha ha, no need to feel jealous. He's a little devil when he's awake, so I think he just wears himself out by the time it's bedtime.

Maybe you could try tweaking her bedtime earlier by 15 mins every couple of days and see if a gradual change will avoid the early waking? No idea if that would work but might be worth a try.
