What are you all doing about bedtime tonight?

Just that really

No, we obviously don't.

How old is this sensitive child?

Christ
This is why people should be screened before being allowed to breed.

@Wheredidcottoneyedjoecomefromandwheredidhego
If this is not a wind up then I think the clock change has affected you more than your children.
In the grand scheme of things they will adjust to the 1 hour change.
To be honest I've been crying laughing at the replies so thankyou for that.

OP, just put your dc to bed when the clock says 8.30 since 8.30 is their normal bedtime 🤷‍♀️

You don't lose an hour every night, you gained an hour last night so it's already done.

The time IS the right time, BST, the zone we were in before was actually -1 so we're back to the correct time really.

Perhaps if you try really hard to write more than one sentence to explain we could understand you better.

Ours is 2.5, woke at 7am this morning (after a 13 hour sleep), had usual nap at 12-1, and went to bed at 7:15 as normal. I figured that we were awake at the normal time so normal routine could carry on. Toddler was extra ready for bed though as I guess body clock was saying it was 8pm? We have never over-thought it and just go as normal for each clock change and haven’t had a problem, touchwood!

Go go go go!!! It's likely you're already to late and it will definitely have an impact on your sensitive child's behaviour for the rest of their life

So what did you do last year ot even 6 months ago on this dramatic existential adventure of why we are all here?

You gain one hour once in the autumn op, it happened yesterday. Just put them to bed at normal time.

<wonders how some people get through life>

I feel like I have missed something. Have I entered the twilight (time) zone?

It’s really unclear what you are worried about about? Them not having enough sleep tonight? But that is just one night, and then tomorrow night it should all be fine? If they say normally have 10 hours sleep, then they should have that tomorrow, and so on.

Are they tired? If yes put them to bed

How - On earth - Do you think they will lose an hour? Given than we gain a hour in autumn. Can you explain using numbers because I cannot fathom your thinking whatsoever.

This!!
My toddler doesn’t have a bedtime as such. She gets tired somewhere between 7-8 usually and I put her to bed when she seems tired 🤷🏼‍♀️ Has not been any different today tbh.

but I really think this a wind up.. it’s entertaining me anyway 😁

@Wheredidcottoneyedjoecomefromandwheredidhego Just get them off their phones and tell them it's bedtime

Why are you obsessing about them losing an hour of sleep? Which they aren't and even if they were it's only an hour!!! You're not listening to anyone at all on this thread. 🙄

This is very obviously a wind-up.

Placing marking thread so it pops up in six month’s time when OP’s mind is blown yet again!

No but if your DD usually sleeps 8.30-7.30 that’s 11 hours.

regardless of what time that was yesterday or will be tomorrow if she sleeps that actual time on the clock it’s still 11 hours.

Of she does 6-5 it’s ll hours.

9-8 it’s 11 hours.

some people do a slow adjustment some just go by the clock and some go by their children’s presentation.

Ot really doesn’t matter as the clicks haven’t just changed I. The evenings they’ve changed the morning too! Basically the whole day shifted as a whole.

You’re overthinking this far too much!

This is surely a troll post. Nobody is this stupid?

So my son wakes up at 7:30 every day, without fail. He goes up to bed at 7pm. So his normal asleep time (after usual stories/cuddles etc) is approximately 11.5hours.

last night he was asleep by 7.30 but because the clocks went back, he woke after 11 ish hours at 6:30 (which would have been 7:30).

So we disregard what the time WAS and focus on the actual time.

He went to bed at 7pm as usual (after being awake an extra hour) and he’ll likely sleep his usual 11 hours, waking up at 7.30.

He might wake up early for a day or two but it’s half term so he’ll survive!

This is either a wind up or it supports my theory that there should be contraception in mains water and the antidote should only be available to people who have the intelligence and stability to raise children.
My cats were fed half an hour 'later' by their body clocks and tomorrow they will catch up. Their body clocks are far more accurate than most children under 4.

Good lord OP!! Get a grip!! 🤦‍♀️🤯

Nothing different. We’re about to climb into bed and watch a film. Ds (8) will go to bed normal time which is about 10, when we’re done.

My son is nearly 13 so obviously older now.
I never did anything when the clocks changed when he was younger.

Just went to bed at the normal time. He sometimes got up slightly earlier or later but nothing wild.

Honestly, don't overthink it.

Are you normally this anxious in life? You must be exhausted! Go get a glass of wine : cup of tea and chill out
