Annelise is actually a really good sleeper. The only time she struggles is when we've kept her up for too long or there's been too much activity around her.
Usually she'll go to bed between 7-9, usually closer to 7 if we can get her fed and settled down by then. Sometimes it's closer to 9 if we're out somewhere like our small group Bible study. Though she usually falls asleep half way through that on our small group host's bed. Apparently she likes it there and falls asleep really quickly! :) Most days she'll stay asleep until somewhere between 5-6, which is around when I wake up, so it's pretty much perfect. She has her random days where she'll make daddy get up at 11pm or so, but she usually just needs her pacifier or flipped back over to her back. She's pretty consistent in sleeping all night long! I don't know how we got so lucky. :)
Recently, we've noticed that she likes to sleep on her side cuddled up by her Winnie-the-Pooh doll that's almost the same size as her, just slightly smaller. For awhile after she learned how to roll over, she kept rolling sometime in her sleep and then waking up from it and getting all frustrated. So to combat that issue, we put her Pooh doll on her left side. She still only rolls to the left, and hasn't figured out how to go right yet. I'm sure she will soon, though, she's a smartie. So now when she goes to bed, we'll put Pooh next to her. Then she'll start rolling over, but realize Pooh is there! Then grab onto his paw and lay on her side while she's hugging him. It's completely adorable. I tried to take a picture, but of course, it's in the dark because the light might wake her up!
