Almost 5, went to bed about half 7, should be asleep by now and will be up about 7 tomorrow.

Bed 730/8 gets up 7/730 sometimes earlier

Susie2021 · 03/05/2022 19:53

Usually between 5.45-6.15am. Always has.

My 5 year old is often still awake at 9pm, usually asleep by 9:30/10. He usually wakes up around 7am. Additional needs mean a rigid/non negotiable bedtime of whatever time doesn’t work and provided we follow the same routine he does okay.

Mummumtum · 03/05/2022 19:56

7ish for story etc then sleeps until 7:30ish

Tiredmum21 · 03/05/2022 20:02

Almost 5 - asleep by 7.30/8 and wakes up at 6.30/6.45 as we need to be out of the house by 7.30. We let her stay awake later at the weekend but she normally averages around 10-11 hours sleep a night..

He's still knobbing about and occasionally throwing out inane questions now.

Hoping he nods off soon.

I'm sick of googling shit he asks because then I want to know if sharks have tongues.

Depending on how well he sleeps, he'll be up anywhere between sparrow fart and "if you don't get out of bed I'm taking you to school in your pyjamas".

Mine is usually asleep by 8.30pm and is up at 7.30 (and of course about 6am on a weekend when we have a chance of a lie in!)

Roses1221 · 03/05/2022 20:16

Almost 5 yo goes to bed 7pm and awakes 6.15ish, but sometimes earlier.

Just turned 6 - falls asleep at 9.30, wakes up at 7.30

(Has been this way since toddlerhood, he napped till 3 then dropped the nap but still kept the late bedtime)

Yes, exactly this. The early starts are always reserved for the weekend!

runforyourdog · 03/05/2022 20:27

Asleep at 8 (most of the time up between 6.30 and 7 but later on weekends.

SuperSleepyBaby · 03/05/2022 20:30

Goes up to bed at 9 and asleep by 9.30 or 9.45.

up at 7.50am

At the weekends she stays up much later watching a movie with us - and might have a lie in the next morning.

She doesn’t need any more sleep than this. She is happy and not tired during the day.

Favouritefruits · 03/05/2022 20:31

When my eldest was 5 he’d be asleep for 8 and up at 7! My four year old bedtime is 7.45 awake about 7.15.
