My 11yr old has to be in bed and lights off by 10:00. He has to be up and out the door at 7:10AM

My son is in bed by 8pm during the week and most weekends. He can't make it much past that. It takes him about 1/2 hour to fall asleep after I put him down. I would love to make it earlier because he's tired around 7pm but his dad doesn't get home until 7:30pm.

my son is 2 and we start bedtime at 8pm. i am more strict with this than dad! this is the start of the bath/jammies/books ritual so he usually is laying in his bed by 8:45 and will soemtimes fall asleep in 10 minutes and other times he is up until 10pm! But he usually wakes up anywhere from 7:30 - 8:30 so it's nice on weekends :)

My 10 year old and 5 year old are in bed by 9 - 9:30pm on school nights and wake up at 6:45am.
My 2 year old twins are always in bed by 8:30-9pm and wake up by 7am.
My oldest is the only one who can actually stay up past 10pm, the younger ones fall asleep by 9:30pm no matter what day it is, so I let him stay up on weekends and vacations.
This is realistic for us because I work full time. I get out at 5:30-6pm then pick everyone up from daycare/afterschool care, we go to the gym for 2 hours - they go to the playroom while I work out then I take them swimming after for about 30 minutes, we get home by 8pm, eat dinner, everyone showers and goes to bed.
Hope this helps, Dez

My boys (10 & 8) have to be in bed by 9:00pm and they get 30 minutes of TV time then lights out. On the weekends I'll let have Friday night as a night to stay up late and sometimes Saturdays. My oldest however would stay up to midnight if I let him.

Wow, it is almost impossible to get my 7-year-old daughter near her bed before 9:00 pm and even then she's usually awake until 10:00 pm. She gets up every morning at 7:00 and gets ready for school, so maybe she just needs less sleep.

My 8 yr-old son has an 8:30 pm bedtime. He's had that a while now, and it works for him.

I'm super strict on bedtimes during the school year (more lenient in summer.) My daughter is 5, she is in bed with the light out by 8 p.m. My 8-year-old son can read until 8:30 p.m.

8:00 every night. My 15 month old is usually ready for bed by then. I ask him a few times if he's almost ready for bed and he will start saying either ba-bye or nigh-night and head for the stairs to up to his room. I am enjoying it while I can, as I'm sure he'll change his tune at some point.

Our 6 month old can't make it much past 7:30, and we aim to have the 4-yr-old in bed by 8:30 at the latest. (bath, stories, bouncing around throwing dirty laundry on the floor, etc -- the "bedtime routine") starts approx 7:30. :)
