    Episode 16: Napping Spectacular Pt 2
    Nov 17 2025
    Welcome to The Sleep Edit, the podcast that helps tired kids and parents sleep better. Each week, Dr. Craig Canapari and sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf break down evidence-based strategies you can actually use. Why are nap transitions so confusing—and why do they so often derail nights? In Part 2 of our napping series, Craig and Arielle dig into the real-world challenges families face when moving from 3→2 naps, 2→1 nap, and eventually dropping naps entirely. Using concrete examples, sleep-need math, and practical troubleshooting, this episode explains exactly what to look for and how to navigate every transition with less stress. You’ll learn • How to know when it’s time to drop a nap • The signs of a nap transition vs. a temporary “nap strike” • Why total 24-hour sleep matters more than wake-window charts • What typical daytime sleep looks like for infants and toddlers • The sleep math behind transitions (high vs. low sleep-need kids) • How daycare schedules can derail naps—and what parents can control • Strategies for capping naps, shifting schedules, and preventing bedtime battles • When early morning awakenings actually signal too much daytime sleep Chapters 00:00:01 — Welcome & Episode Setup00:01:07 — The 3→2 Nap Transition: When It Starts00:02:48 — Biology of Sleep Drive & Late Naps00:03:43 — Why Late Bedtimes Are So Common Now00:04:59 — How Total Sleep Needs Shape Nap Schedules00:06:32 — Wake Windows vs. Real Sleep Need00:07:52 — Consolidated Naps & Nap Length Targets00:09:41 — How to Use the Third Nap as a Bridge00:11:06 — Example: Designing a 13.5-hour Sleep Day00:12:59 — Signs It’s Time to Drop From 3→2 Naps00:14:45 — Why Transitions Are Messy (and Normal)00:15:56 — The 2→1 Nap Transition: Age & Signs00:17:46 — Developmental Milestones That Disrupt Naps00:19:06 — Case Example: Drew (13 Months)00:20:57 — How to Start the 2→1 Transition Step-by-Step00:22:54 — Shifting Nap Timing & Early Bedtime Strategy00:23:56 — Tracking Sleep: Apps vs. Diaries00:24:53 — Why Smart Monitors Often Mislead Parents00:26:50 — When Nights Get Worse Because of Nap Issues00:27:59 — The 1→0 Transition: What Truly Signals Readiness00:29:18 — Daycare Nap Challenges & Parent Options00:31:56 — Capping Naps to Protect Nighttime Sleep00:33:30 — Nap Strikes vs. True Transitions00:36:06 — Early Morning Awakenings & Too Much Day Sleep00:38:30 — Final Thoughts & The Greenleaf Windows Links CIO episode of the Sleep EditDr. Canapari’s article on Le Pause Sleep trainingPeriod of purple cryingDr. Canapari's article on nappingDr. Canapari's article on sleep needs in childrenDr. Canapari articles on the science of why children stop nappingArielle's website References Paruthi, S., Brooks, L.

    Episode 15: Napping Spectacular!
    Oct 6 2025
    Why do some toddlers nap like champs while others refuse entirely? In Part 1 of our Napping Spectacular, Craig and Arielle unpack what the science says about total sleep needs, how nap patterns change across infancy and early childhood, and the very real “art” of troubleshooting naps at home. We cover when to drop naps, how brain development (especially the hippocampus) affects nap transitions, what to do about short naps, and how to keep daytime sleep from stealing restorative overnight sleep. We also talk through safe approaches to contact naps and why it’s normal for newborns to have unpredictable naps and periods of crying. Key takeaways Think in 24 hours: aim to balance daytime sleep with restorative overnight sleep.AASM consensus ranges: infants 4–12 mo (12–16 h), toddlers 1–2 y (11–14 h), preschoolers 3–5 y (10–13 h), school-age 6–12 y (9–12 h), teens 13–18 y (8–10 h).Nap transitions are tied to brain maturity; as memory systems develop, many preschoolers naturally nap less.Typical goals for many infants: at least two naps of ~1 hour each and ~10 hours overnight (individual needs vary).Independent sleep skills are the linchpin for extending naps beyond a single 30–45 minute sleep cycle.Watch sleepy cues, but remember boredom can masquerade as tiredness in older infants.Contact napping can be soothing, but it’s risky if the caregiver is truly exhausted—prioritize safe sleep.Newborn naps are erratic; you can practice gentle routines, but you can’t “schedule” a newborn.Consistency across naps and nights helps babies learn faster than a mix-and-match approach.
