Sleep patterns consolidate during toddlerhood as toddlers sleep through the night with a mid-day nap and shift from cribs to beds [12]. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that toddlers receive 11–14 h of sleep daily with bedtime before 9:00 PM [13]. Toddlers who receive less than the recommended amount of sleep are at increased risk for excess weight gain, emotional dysregulation, impaired growth, injuries, and lower academic achievement. In addition, shortened nighttime sleep increases the likelihood of next-day sedentary behavior [14]. With the exception of sleeping, toddlers should not be sedentary or inactive for more than 1 h at a time.
