So, what time does your child go to bed?

My almost 5 yo is a mess by 6 pm. He's in bed, but not necessarily asleep by 7:15. My youngest goes to bed between 7:30 - 8. My DH works nights, so an early bedtime allows me to get some school work done.

Re: So, what time does your child go to bed?

  • Mine is usually in bed by 7 and asleep by 7:15-7:30.  DH doesn't get home until after 9 so it gives me enough time to finish cooking our adult dinner, clean up and prepare for the next day.

  • DS2 goes to bed between 7-7:30 usually.  DS1 goes to bed between 8:30-9, usually closer to 9.  DS1 still takes a very long nap in the afternoon and that is why he goes to bed later.

  • They both are finally on a similar schedule for bedtime, both go up to bed anywhere between 7:30-8pm.

  • He goes to bed at 8. I'm thinking he might benefit from a slightly earlier bedtime, but it's so hard when he's in school full time.

  • Both of mine are pretty much 7-7. DS takes a 1-2 hour nap each day.  Sometimes a little earlier or later, but usually within a 1/2 hour.  We have not had good luck with deviating from this schedule, like we have had REALLY bad following days by letting DD stay up another hour or two.  When she was younger, it was not such a big deal, but now, we pay.
  • We go upstairs at 8, bath til the water gets cold (1/2 hr?) and jammies/story, all tucked in by 9.  

    Both still nap also....DS 1.5 hrs, DD 2-2.5 hrs.

     

  • The girls go to bed at 7 asleep by 7:30 and Nathan goes to bed at 8.
  • DS goes to bed around 8:45-9:00 and is asleep by 9:30 ish.

    And, he wakes up around 8:30.

    This does not change if he skips a nap or stays up late either. 

  • Now that she doesn't nap anymore we have her in bed by 8pm some nights she falls asleep quicker than others, but is usually asleep by 9pm.

  • Both kids go to bed at 7 and wake up at 7.  Weekends they go to bed at 8 and still usually get up at 7.
  • 7:30. School wears the oldest one out.
