What time do your children go to bed?

My little one is 4 and she's in bed at 7pm most nights.

Ds 2.5- 7-7.30pm
Dd 4- 7-7.30pm
Dd6 - 7-8pm depends some nights tired and goes early after clubs, sometimes reads to herself and is asleep at 8pm.
Ds7 7.30-8pm like his sister depends as some nights very tired.

On Friday the older two stay up a little later and Saturday is movie or games for the older two.

Holidays vary.

@Eileen101 can I ask what time your eldest wakes up? My 4 yr old loves her sleep and would still have a (long) nap if I let her. She geberally sleeps from 7.30pm-7am but is still relentlessly tired.

The difficulty is she shares a bedroom with her younger brother who is less keen on sleep.

2yo and 5yo (in reception). Both in bed at the same time, between 7 and 7.30- 5yo needs to be woken up by about 7.30am to get ready for school, 2yo wakes me up climbing in my bed between 5 and 6am!

6yo & 9yo both in bed by 8.30-9pm (asleep by 9.30-10pm)

Both upstairs at 6.30.
Ds 2 in bed by 7
Ds 5 in bed by 7.30 though he really struggles with getting to sleep so at least once a week is still wide awake at nine

2.5 year old lights out 7pm on nursery days (doesn't nap) and 7:30 other days because she has a 30 min nap at lunchtime. She's asleep within 20-15 mins

15 month old and 2.5 year old both in bed by 6pm and asleep by 6.30! This has been since by eldest dropped her nap and youngest has moved to 1 nap. Both sleep through to 7am, I'm lucky I know. I have been seriously obsessed with routines since they were born and definitely enjoying the one we have now.

1YO at 6.30, 4YO at 7 and they go to sleep within seconds. Then they’re both up at 6.30 in the morning which suits us well.

Nearly 8 yrs.
7.45/8

My 4yo and 7yo both go to bed at 9! They sleep till 7.30-8am or sometimes later on a weekend.

My boys are 2 & 4 and are both asleep for 7.30pm but it can be anywhere between 7-7.30 depending on which day of the week it is (swimming lessons etc)
DD is 8 and goes to sleep at 8.

@Lostmyway86 I’m the same with routines! Mine all sleep until anywhere between 6.45-7.30.

My lot were in bed and asleep by 630. They were ready to go to sleep and I felt very sorry for people who had their children up late ! Definitely needed time out in the evening. They were pretty good at staying in bed until about 7.30 am ,so all good 😊

We start bathtime at 6.45 for my nearly 1 and 3.5yos and they're normally actually asleep between 7.30 and 7.45. I have to wake them at 7 on the three days a week they go to nursery but they sleep until around 7.30/8 otherwise. We have tried to get them to bed a bit quicker as they can both get pretty tired but we don't eat until 6 so it feels very rushed to be any earlier.

At 4 ;
DS 8-8:30 always, always, always up by 7am latest.
Dd 6:45-7:15 needed waking at 7:45

20 month old - 8.30/9pm. Wakes 6.30am. He just doesn’t seem to need much sleep.

2 and 4 year old any time between 6.30 and 7.30 but 2 year old has only just gotten into this routine. A few months ago we were lucky if he went to bed before ten. Newborn is nocturnal

7 year old - 6:30 we start bedtime and he’s asleep by 7:30 at the latest

9 year old - 7:45 bed time and he is awake reading till 8:30 at the latest.

They both wake up somewhere between 6 and 7am.

19 month old god up at 6.45, pyjamas, teeth, nappy change and story then into bed at 7.
6 month old goes as soon as I've put the older 1 down but he has a bottle as well.

8YO in bed anytime between 7-7:30 during the week and anytime up to 9:00 on the weekend. During the week he reads till 8:30 then lights out. Wakes up anytime between 6:30-7:00.

My 18 month old goes to bed between 9-9:30pm. Can't for the life of me change it but it works for us. He sleeps until sometime between 7:30-8:30. Takes him bloody ages to fall asleep but when he does, he's out.

DS is 6 and we aim for 8-8:45. He fights going to bed every night

3yo - bath starts sometime between 6:30-7:00 so asleep after stories by 7:30 is the plan. On a day where he’s had a late afternoon nap though that is often pushed back by half an hour. He sometimes stays awake in bed singing/playing with teddies for a while though.

7pm (1yo, 4yo, 5yo), the older two won’t always go to sleep straight away though they might talk to each other for a bit or listen to an audio story.

8&10yos... 8pm.

When DD1 was 4, she went at 6pm but her school started at 7am and we left home at 7am to get there.

When she was 6-8yo, it was 7-7.30pm.

At 8.5yo it moved to 8pm (in Lockdown 1 really). DD2s bedtime just followed her big sisters really, she's never liked sleep as much. Even now, DD2 is reading, DD1 is asleep!
