Tool | Nap Schedule
Start with what happened. Keep actual sleep separate from future plans, and compare using your own settings.
An interval is the awake time from waking until the next sleep starts. It is different from nap length. You do not need to guess a number to use this page.
A missed nap by itself cannot choose a new bedtime. Keep following any existing care instructions; use the guide to review your situation rather than inventing an interval.
Add a known event first to enable saving your record.
Choose a starting point. Nothing is recorded until you submit an entry.
Compare using the last recorded wake and your settings. Nothing is added to your actual record.
Start with what you know. You can save your record without comparing times. Record what happened

What you explicitly entered as having happened.
A future assumption. Never added to recorded sleep.
A range of possible times. Unknown stays unknown.
Sequence view, not a time scale. Estimated ranges and unknown times stay visible. Planned sleep is excluded from recorded totals.
Was this useful for your situation?
We add your interval to the last recorded wake time. With ranges, the earliest wake plus the shortest interval gives the earliest result; the latest wake plus the longest interval gives the latest result. Later planned naps use your assumed duration, so uncertainty can widen.
Trying to settle without sleep and not offering a nap do not reset the wake time. Unknown times remain unknown. A plan never becomes a recorded event just because its time has passed.
These calculations do not determine when a baby will sleep, recommend a nap transition, or diagnose a sleep problem. No age-based rules are approved in this version. Follow any professional care plan and seek professional advice for health concerns or persistent difficulties.
Current method: user-defined interval arithmetic, version 1. No medical review is claimed. For general sleep and care information, see American Academy of Pediatrics: baby sleep. That resource is not used to derive an individual wake interval.
Example — nothing has been recorded. Read these structures without entering anything. No default sleep times or age recommendation are supplied.
| Step | Assumption |
|---|---|
| Wake | The same chosen starting point |
| Nap 1 | Your interval, then your assumed nap duration |
| Nap 2 | Your interval, then your assumed nap duration |
| Nap 3 | Your interval, then your assumed nap duration |
| Bedtime range | Your interval after the final assumed nap |
The nap count is a comparison option, not a recommendation to change your day.

What you explicitly entered as having happened.
A future assumption. Never added to recorded sleep.
A range of possible times. Unknown stays unknown.
Structure templates v1 · no numerical age template approved. You can also start from what happened without choosing an example.
Age references give context. Your comparison uses the assumptions you enter; it does not infer a nap count from age. Read the six-month guide to understand the two structures before choosing one.
Start with an actual wake time and enter the interval you want to compare. The current comparison keeps your recorded entries separate from the proposed evening range. It does not choose an age-based nap count or fill in missing naps.
Babies are not clocks. When a nap runs short or long, recompute the next wake window from the actual end of the nap, not what the schedule originally said.
Changing a nap count changes the assumed day. Compare the structures above without treating either one as a readiness assessment. Continue your current arrangement or discuss recurring difficulties with your care professional.
If you still need to fine-tune the timing between naps, open wake windows by age or go straight to the wake window calculator. If naps are falling apart during a leap, check the sleep regression checker.
Record the last wake you know and compare using your own intervals and remaining planned naps. Examples do not become actual records.
No. Real schedules work best when they flex with the actual naps your baby took that day.
