Your baby's wake windows,
on one page.

Most nap struggles are a timing problem, not a baby problem. The Wake Window Cheat Sheet gives you the awake-time ranges for every age from newborn to two years — plus the sleepy cues that tell you the window is closing.

0–3 mo

60–90

minutes awake

4–6 mo

1.5–2.5

hours awake

7–12 mo

2.5–4

hours awake

12–24 mo

4–6

hours awake

Maximum awake time by age. The full sheet breaks each one down by morning, midday, afternoon and evening.

What's in the ten pages

Reference material, not a course. Built to be opened on a phone at 3am.

Four age-by-age charts

0–3, 4–6, 7–12 and 12–24 months. Each with window lengths by time of day, typical nap count, and a sample daily rhythm.

Eight sleepy cues, ranked

From the earliest signal to the one that means you've already missed the window.

Too short vs. too long

Both cause bad naps, and they look different. Which symptoms point to which mistake.

Wake window chart page for 4 to 6 month old babies

What this is, and what it isn't

Every family gets the same ten pages. Nothing here is generated for your individual baby — the charts are age-matched ranges drawn from pediatric sleep research, which is exactly what a wake window chart should be.

It won't diagnose anything, and it isn't medical advice. If something about your baby's sleep or breathing worries you, that's a conversation for your pediatrician, not a PDF.
