My daughter is almost 2yrs old and has been fully potty trained (for wake times) since 21 mts. She often wakes up dry after nap time. I am just curious as to when most kids are trained during sleep times.???
Anywhere from 2 to 8 years old and even older. There is no night time "potty training" that you can do. When their body is ready, they will sleep dry at night.
Within "normal" is up to age 6 before they are expected to be dry at night. Some kids do it sooner, some a bit later. After age 6, one might want to explore a physical reason or try the devices that help wake the child when they begin to wet but before that you just have to wait it out. No need to withhold liquids, wake the child at all hours of the night etc. They can't do it till their body is physically ready and also producing a hormone that aids in night time dryness.
Honestly, it's not an issue of training as much as it is how heavily she sleeps. My daughter was fully trained at 2, nighttime included, but my son was trained at 2.5 and then slept in a pull-up until he was 3. He slept so hard that he didn't even realize he was going. After he woke up dry for about two weeks we gave underwear a shot, and he was fine.
Night training isn't really training.
It's when their body is ready to hold it all night or wakes them up. It's a biological maturity thing.
Nap dryness comes before night dryness. So she may be dry at naptime years before dry at night comes, I have a 5 yr old that's been day trained for about 2.5 yrs and is still not dry at night.
For my son it was day: 24 months, nap: two weeks later, night: 27months
I'm of the opinion that you can't really "train" a kid for sleep times because they aren't conscious (obviously). My son started waking up dry consistently, so I stopped putting a diaper on him. I wouldn't make the change though until she's ALWAYS waking up dry after nap. Waking up in a wet bed will not help her use the potty but may make her feel bad. Try encouraging her to go potty before nap, but beyond that you've got to let her body do what it does.
Night time is a separate thing (she's got to hold it for a LONG time) but follow the same rule. When she's consistently waking up dry in the mornings, let her go without a diaper. Different kids are different though, so just get there when you get there.
Good luck.

My daughter wore pull ups at bed time from 2.5 to 3.5yrs old. She finally decided she didn't want them at night anymore and she often times have a dry one in the morning. So, we just make it a point to take her to the potty around 11pm when we go to bed just to make sure she doesn't have an accident. Every so often she will bring herself to the potty at 10:30pm or so. I think we'll do this for another year or so...up until 5 years old. Not sure!
When my son was 1 1/2 we used the last of the diapers and went to underpants. We talked about and he wasn't completly on board with it but he did well. I committed myself to waking up the first few nights every hour just to pin point when he was having to potty at night. I figured out that it was between 4 and 6. So for two weeks I got up at 4 and I took him potty. It wasn't a big deal for me because I usually needed to go to. After the two weeks he would sometimes get up and go or he would sleep and wake up fine. He is now 5 1/2 and I think he has maybe wet the bed a total of 3 times and that is usually when we are out of town after driving all day!
Good Luck
My daughter night trained at 22 months.
I read that night training comes 5 months after day control, which was the case for us.
