That’s a late-ass bedtime starting around 1 year old.
Sorry for the poor image quality. I made this research two years ago and all I have found now is just this shitty JPEG.
There seems to be a shift in the sleep time at 1 year old. Why is that?
Did you sleep train the baby at 6mo?
Super interesting to see the transitions – chaos, to four naps, to three naps, to two naps
This looks like a sort algo running lmao
Fascinating!!! Did you graph total sleep time by any chance? Looks like it’s pretty much constant but difficult to tell from this graph.
There should be a minimum 6 month maternity leave option based on this.
I like the island of order in the sea of chaos that is the afternoon nap of the 3 months old.
Trying to see if you all experienced the “4-month sleep regression” and I don’t think I see it! Or if so, it seems relatively short.
Wow, this data truly is beautiful!! :O
This is so interesting. You should share this on some parenting groups.
Babies really have jetlag for the first few months eh
Was wondering when my little dude would switch to one nap a day. Looks like I’ve got some time.
This is amazing, and matches my experience with my two kids.
so i guess i have to survive until 6 months,
then it gets a little better
Getting serious sleeping-through-the-night jealousy at this graph (my one year old still wakes at least once a night)
Well done! That’s a great long-term representation and fascinating to see play out.
I love how between three and two naps per day there’s like a week or two where the sleep schedule is just chaos. And the same between two and one nap per day.
Incredible data. Looks kind of like a bifurcation diagram
Teething one day at around 7.5 months and at month 10? Looks like a couple of tough days.
The progression of chaos to 3 naps/day to 2 naps/day to 1 nap/day kinda looks like a logistic function bifurcation plot in reverse
I genuinely don’t know how anyone actually raising a child has the time or emotional energy to record when their child is sleeping with this granularity.
I slept like a baby last night. Hardly at all, some crying.
Thanks for tracking this! Holy dang that must have been difficult – show this to all the “gurus” who are like “take my 3 $200 classes and your child will sleep 12 hours at six weeks old!”. It’s not physically possible, the child’s circadian rhythm isn’t even close to being developed at that age
Love seeing the nap transitions. It’s pretty universal. I’m in an active Facebook group for new moms and the nap thing is so overwhelming with your first. A chart like this would probably be really helpful!
For any non-parents: naps can be chaotic until around 7 months when they settle into 2 naps a day and stay firmly on 2 naps until around 15 months (or later). Then they are on 1 nap and how long they nap for varies wildly (some kids stop napping at 2, some still nap at 5).

That’s a really great chart

I am pregnant and this chart stresses me out!!
