What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

My child is almost 3. Wake-up is 6:45am, the nap is around 1pm for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, and bedtime is 7:30pm, but my child keeps waking at 5am and won't go back to sleep. Look at this sleep data and suggest a schedule that could fix the early waking.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Find the pattern behind my young child's sleep problem from our real sleep times and suggest one change to try.

Questions to ask me first:
- How old is your child?
- What are their usual wake, nap and bedtime times over the last week?
- What's the main problem (early waking, bedtime fights, short naps)?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Child's age: [AGE]
- Last 5–7 days of times (wake, nap start/end, bedtime, asleep time, night wakings): [SLEEP LOG]
- Main problem: [PROBLEM]
- Fixed limits (daycare nap times, work schedule): [LIMITS]

Rules:
- Calculate the wake windows from my times and compare them with typical ranges for this age.
- Suggest one change at a time and how many days to try it before judging.
- Keep it practical; no sleep-training method unless I ask.
- Tell me which signs mean I should talk to our pediatrician instead.

Checkpoint: Show the wake-window math first and wait for me to confirm the times are right.

If you get stuck: If the data is too patchy, tell me what to log for three more days.

Verify before you finish: Check that the suggested schedule fits my fixed limits and adds up across the day.

Output: A wake-window table, one change to try and what to track.

Done when: I have one clear change to test for the next few days.

Outcome

A Hong Kong parent of a toddler who was almost 3 gave Claude the child's full sleep data: a 6:45 a.m. wake-up, a nap around 1 p.m. that ran anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, a 7:30 p.m. bedtime and the main problem of waking at 5 a.m. and refusing to go back to sleep. Claude produced a schedule with wake windows and a nap plan. It also pointed out that the wake window before bed was too short: waking from the nap at 3 p.m. left 4.5 hours when the child likely needed 5 to 5.5. It suggested pushing bedtime to 8 p.m. or capping the nap at 1.5 hours. The parent capped the nap, and the toddler slept 20 minutes longer the next morning. Not a miracle, the parent says, but welcome.
