For an 18-month-old, daily sleep usually breaks down like this: 11-14 hours total, split into about 10-12 hours at night and 1-2.5 hours in one daytime nap.
A sample schedule many families find works:
- Bedtime: 8:00-9:00 PM start, sleep
- Wake-up: 6:30-7:30 AM
- Daytime nap: noon-1:00 PM start, lasting 1-2 hours
At this age, the "awake window" (time from waking to next nap) is usually 4-5.5 hours; going longer can make falling asleep harder due to overtiredness. A consistent routine (book, dim light, calm talk) smooths the transition. If sleep rhythm is disrupted for weeks or your baby snores, sleeps with mouth open, or isn't gaining weight normally, check with your pediatrician.
