I think 8pm is the best bedtime there is. My DS has had that bedtime since the day he came home from the hosptial. He will be 4 in Aug. My DD who is almost 11 months goes to bed at that time too. It's nice to get them down at 8 because I still have energy to sometimes get things done. It's what works for you and when he starts school (if not already) it won't be a fight to get him down at a reasonable hour so he's well rested.

We have an 8pm bedtime for DD and have for as long as I can remember. Lately though she's staying up until 9ish reading and playing in her room until she conks out. I like 8pm because that give me time to get my grad school work done and some things done around the house. She gets up around 9am.

We are 8:30 or 9 depending how we are going and how the kids are but my kids sleep till 8 or 8:30 the next morning. IMO it doesn't matter when you put your children to bed as long as they are getting enough hours and the sleep is quality.

DD usually is in bed or on her way to bed by about 8 or 8:30 every night. she is an early bird though. no matter what time she goes to bed she's always awake by about 6:30am

8pm is the universal bed time goal to reach every day in this house, even on weekends. I don't think it's too early at all. We get up at 7AM for school so, 8pm is a good starting point. Because, you know the kids aren't going to go to sleep right at 8 but more likely 8:30-9:00.

DS goes to sleep at 8pm and wakes up at 7:30am.

If he were to nap during the day he would stay up until 11pm.

DD is usually in bed around 730, but not asleep until 8/830. Up at 6.

It's 9 pm here. DS1 still takes naps most days and usually wakes up around 7 or 7:30 am. On school mornings he has to get up around 7:20 am.

8pm is definitely too early for us! DD1 goes to bed @ 10ish. It's always been pretty late, but she's a night owl. And she used to sleep 10pm-9 or 10am...it was heaven. The baby tends to wake her earlier now, but she sleeps in a lot too. I don't want to be up at 7am on any day, and with my work schedule I have to be up early (7-7:30am) just 3 days a week. The other days we sleep in because I go in later (come home after 8pm).
