I set up a clock in Jakes room to go off on white noise at 5am coz thats when he started to go into a lighter sleep, and left books at the end of his bed. We went from hearing him yell straight away to not hearing him til 7.30-8! I was a very happy mummy lol I would suggest keeping your boy awake til 6.30 which is a reasonable time. Jakes in bed by 6.15 and asleep by 7pm at the latest usually and I don't get him up again til 7.30am. Maybe get some earplugs? If you ignore him til you're ready to get up he'll soon get the picture (Jake did ).
As for the day sleep - at 17 months Jake was having 2x2-3hour sleeps and still sleeping a minimum of 11 hours at night. It totally depends on your child as to how much sleep they need. Some just need alot more than others!

i agree with Nikki....

awkward for you caus eof the time you pick him up i guess? but E just suddenly did 1 sleep and for a few days it was an hour then a few days of two sleeps and then a few more 1 hour...(ugh!)!! but he started morning preschool and now does 12-2 or 230 most days.. sometimes he will still do one sleep(about once a week)

i agree about them needing 13 hours or so.. if it were me I wouldn't put him to bed later..just in my opinion of course though! I think 630 is late enough for a little one.. so in short that is what i would do but it's much easier said than done when he is at school !!:( but I would get them to sleep him about 11 with an early lunch (or lunch after?)

I'm not sure how your DS is but mine once he wants to get up lets us know loudly and that's anywhere from 6-730 but we did find leaving him a bit longer in the mornings helped a little.. as Babe says it's an individual thing both for the child and you and is a balancing act !!
