My daughter, age 10, goes to bed at 8.30pm on a schools night and wakes, not by choice, at 7am. At the weekends she goes about 9pm, watches a DVD for a little while and usually falls asleep watching it.
My son, 5, goes to bed at 7pm on school nights and watches a DVD for about 30 minutes. He wakes any time from 6am onwards and this is usually the same at the weekends, he chooses to go to bed at this time.
However, as babies they were both nightmares!!!!!!!
hi my sons who will be 2 and 3 in april n may go to bed at 7 30 and usually wake between 6 30-7 30. even when we have visitors they are still ready for there bed by 7 30 sometimes earlier.
I'm quite lucky in that my son who is nearly 1, set out his own bed time quite early on - he was always ready to be put to bed by 7pm and I couldn't make him stay up any longer otherwise he'd just get cranky. He is still always in bed for 7 and sleeps til 6.30 most days, sometimes 7am.
My boys are 7 and 6 now and generally go to bed at 8 ish school nights and read for a while - usually until I remember to tell them to put their lights out! That can be as late as 9pm - at weekends it is later and in fact they are still reading now. They usually wake naturally about 7.30 weekdays and 8 on weekends. on a tuesday they go to Judo which doesn't finish until 8.30, so it is a bit later then.
They have always been good sleepers and as babies and toddlers they went to bed between 7 and 7,30 and woke between 6.30 ad 7.30.
When they were under 1, they would go to bed at much the same time, wake around 6am for a feed and go back until 8ish - this suited us as I left for work around 7.30, so I could feed them and put them back to bed and my husband who looked after them daytime and worked evenings, got a bit of a longer lie.
my older three children go to bed at 8pm and get up at 7.30am. my youngest is 2 and a half and she goes to bed at 9pm, sleeps in my bed with me and gets up at 7am. there is no set time for kids. if you are comfortable with the childs routine and the child is coping better with it then you are doing nothing wrong. (i know ill rue the day for letting my one sleep in my bed) but we are all happy so what does it matter, and after all she is my baby!!!!!
my 9 yr old daughter goes bed at 9pm earlier if she wants to play on her nintendo for a bit or read. she gets up at 8am. at weekends she stays up till about 10 and stays in bed till about 9ish.
my sons are 14 and 12 and go bed about 9.30, watch TV and turn that off around 10 or 10.30, they usually go sleep by then, they get up between 7 and 7:15 weekday mornings and have a lie in weekends till about 9 or 10
