Overall Sleep Needs by Age - A Guide

Do you find yourself wondering how much sleep your little one needs over 24 hours? I got you. All children are different, some are long nappers, others make up for shorter naps with longer stretches of sleep overnight, and then there are those unicorn children who love their sleep day and night and will even lie in! 

The below table can give you a good idea of how much sleep your little one will need depending on their age range. Note that this is a guide only and some children will fall either side of these ranges, it’s a good guide to help you to ensure your little one is getting the rest that their brain and body needs for healthy development.
