I thought this was a myth about sleepovers

That there is actually no sleeping involved!

Dd had her first sleepover tonight and oh my lord the noise. It's 4am and there's still so much giggling and moving around. They've quietened down the past few hours but I didn't realize people would actually stay awake for fun.

I'm happy they're having a good time but I know in a few hours time when I get up they will be in a state. I will too. I don't think any amount of coffee will help.

If you were me would you go and tell them to sleep? I don't want to be a killjoy but surely they need some sleep?

I agree. I don't let me DC go to houses to stay the night unless I know the parents will try to get them to sleep before 12am
It affects my DS's sleep pattern for days after.

Half the fun of sleepovers is getting to stay up ridiculously late.

Hope a good time was had by all.

At midnight I pop my head in and say "I'm off to bed AND I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOU".
If I hear them i do another reminder in the form of a " X(DD's name) I can hear you!" I usually don't hear much after that- just whispering chatter.
