When is bedtime?

How old is your child(ren) and when is bedtime? What time do they wake in the AM?

ETA: I'm asking here and not on parenting cause I want to know for kids in school, not babies.

Re: When is bedtime?

7 and 4 (almost 5)

Start the process about 7:30. The little ones asleep before 8 usually, and the old one can beup until 10 some nights.

They get up anywhere from 6:30 to 8, 8:15... We leave the house at 8:50 to get to school and we live 2 minutes away

When is bedtime?

DS is almost 5.5y/o and goes to bed at 8pm and i drag him out of bed for school at 8:15am. on weekends he'll sleep until 9am.

Re: When is bedtime?

11 yr old about 9:30 on school nights. No set time, just when he falls asleep.
Teenager-no set time, whenever falls asleep

Re: When is bedtime?

5 (and 2)
Lights out at 7:15pm
Up by 7:30am, sometimes independently, sometimes not.

Re: When is bedtime?

DS is 6: bedtime is at 7:30, he wakes up at 7am. Sometimes the latest may be 8:30 if he has karate. That's when DH is handling bedtime because I'm at work, lol.

Re: When is bedtime?

My DD is 6, she's in first grade. In bed at 8pm (she falls asleep right away) and she's up at 7:30 for school........I have to wake her up though. She'd sleep later if it wasn't for school.

My DS is almost 2, obviously not in school, but he sleeps from 7pm to 7:30am.

Re: When is bedtime?

On school nights, my DS (who is 6) goes to bed at 8 pm. On weekends, special occasions, etc, we are more flexible and he often stays up later.

Eta - on school days he has to be up by 7:15. I have to wake him most days. On weekends, he sometimes sleeps until 8-8:30.

Re: When is bedtime?

Bed at 7:30pm, up by 7:00am (when older dd has soccer, she doesn't finish until 8 so it's later those days)

Dds are 7, 6, 1.5

When is bedtime?

My dd is almost 6 years old. She is in kindergarten. School nights she is in bed between 7-7:30. She wakes up for school 6:45-7. Bus comes at 7:50.
She stays up later if there isn't school next the day.

Re: When is bedtime?

School nights we aim to have both my almost 5 year old and 8 year old in bed at 8:00- realistically it ends up being a little closer to 8:30. My older DS gets woken at 6:45, the younger one gets up on his own usually by 7:00-7:15. The weekend they go to bed closer to 8:30-9:00. They get up on their own anywhere from 7:00-8:30. It's a mixed bag.

Re: When is bedtime?

3 kids ages 11, 9, and 7 are all in bed at 9 pm and awake between 6:30 and 7 am on school nights.

weekends and holidays usually by 10:30 pm and up between 8 and 9am

Re: When is bedtime?

ugh...My son is the worst! He is 6. He goes in at 8:30 but stalls and rarely falls asleep right away...usually not until after 9. And he gets up anywhere between 5 and 6:30!!!!

My DS is 5 and in kindergarten. He falls asleep at 8:30 and I wake him at 7:10 on school days. Weekends he sleeps until 8 usually.

When is bedtime?

6 yrs old 8:30-9:00pm
I wake her up ... I start around 6.. we goof off and giggle until about 620 when I toss her out to brush, pee, get meds and sit for hair brushing.

Re: When is bedtime?

My boys are almost 6, and almost 4.

My older son in K is on a consistent schedule for school - so before care drop off at 6:50 am - I get him out of bed about 6:20 - and have him in bed for the night at 8:30 - lights OFF at 9:00

My younger one has the same schedule Weds - Fri. But Mon and Tues my parents watch him so he wakes up on his own, around 7:00 am

DH and I both work FT in the city, my kids have always had a 9pm bedtime.

9 and younger. 9:30 on a good night .

Re: When is bedtime?

My girls are 4 & 6 and are usually asleep around 9:30 sometimes a little later.

Wake up is at 8am leave for school around 835-840. They do not like waking up and will sleep in until 10 or later if no school.

Re: When is bedtime?

4 1/2 - 8:00 bedtime. Wakes up anywhere between 6:30-7:00 during the week.

Re: When is bedtime?

DD 6.5 in first grade, DS 3.5 nursery. Both have the same bedtime just bc it's easier that way. In bed by 8, both are usually asleep in 15 minutes. Both wake up on their own between 6:45 and 7:30. DS usually naps for 1.5 hour in the afternoon.
