I know it’s goig to vary a bit but age 10 bedtime?

[Inarightpickleandchutney]

It seems like an in between age where they can stay up a bit later but they shouldn’t because they still need a good long sleep.

DD currently goes to bed at 8.45 with her being properly asleep by about 9.15-9.30.

Gets up at 7-7.30.

Do you think this is enough? Advice seems to be varied so thought I’d ask MN!

It really does depend on the child. If she's easy to wake and not grouchy I wouldn't worry.

Seems enough to me!

My 7 year old goes to bed at half past 8, sleeping for 9ish and up for 7am.

DD is 10 and goes to bed 9-9.30, usually reading for 30-45 minutes in bed beforehand.

Mine is about to practice yoga , I can hear her tidying her floor. She usually goes off to sleep at 10:30.
She stopped sleeping 8yrs ago.

Yeah she does wake up naturally not with an alarm so I guess it’s enough, seems to average 10 hours a night

My 10 year olds both go upstairs between 8.15-8.30, then read until about 9.00. They get up at 7am. Normally go to bed later on a weekend but then they sleep longer the next morning too. I think that your dd is getting plenty of sleep.

My 11 (just turned 11), goes to bed at 8 on school nights (9 on weekends). She faffs loads whilst getting ready for bed but is in bed with lights out by half past at the latest. I usually have to wake her between 7 & 7.30 so I’m not making it any later at the moment.

My 11 goes to bed 1at 8.30 on week nights and usually is asleep by 9, 9.15. He goes to bed at 9.30 ish at weekends.

I also have a 13 year old who does loads of sport (most days) and he still goes to bed at 8.30 as well.

They both wake up at around 7.
