Toddler Sleep by Age (1–5 Years) | How Much Sleep Toddlers Need
Toddler sleep by age: total sleep needs, nap schedules, wake windows and bedtimes from 12 months to 5 years. Evidence-based Australian guide with FAQs.
Sleep needs change dramatically between 12 months and 5 years — and so do the naps, wake windows and bedtimes that make those needs feel achievable. This guide walks through what's typical at each toddler stage, how to recognise when your child needs more (or less) sleep, and how to build a rhythm that actually fits your family. It's designed to give you realistic Australian expectations, not perfection.
