When did seven o clock stop being bedtime?

My four year old has not napped in the day for a looooong time. Even long car journeys don’t send him to sleep any more.

But … he doesn’t go to sleep before eight o’clock, often pushing half eight. It feels really late and selfishly doesn’t give me much time to myself!

Is it just us?

I find my kid’s bedtime shifts to a little later when it’s daylight for longer. In the dark winter months it’s back to seven-ish.

Time to introduce "quiet time" audible story and quiet play
