What time do your DC go to bed?

As the title says, what time does your DC go to bed? Both term time and holidays.

DD 10 (year 5) goes to bed at 8 (with a story) term time and 9 weekends and holidays. I'm sure this is too early. However DP and I go to bed pretty early as well so trying to work out what is best for us all.

Ds2(11) yr 6 goes at 8pm on school nights with the expectation he's settled by 9pm. School holidays have been a little later, if there's a good reason to be up it's fine but if it's just a normal night I expect him to be upstairs by 9pm and he's almost always asleep by 9.30.

DS 7 is in settled in bed by 8.30pm and asleep within 5mins usually. Term time and holidays the same.

I want to preface this with the fact that my kids are no trouble at bedtime - they brush their teeth and go to bed with no fuss..

DS1 and 2 13 and 10 both are expected to be tucked in by 9.

Technically bedtime is 8:30, but the rule is that I need to be in bed by 9 (I start work at 5) so if they're in bed before 9 I will personally tuck them in, if it's after 9 they come and give me a hug and tuck themselves in. This also works as a way to start helping them look after themselves a bit more.

By before/after 9 I mean by a couple of minutes - by 9:15 this house is dark and quiet because we're all asleep!

DS's 9 and 6, bedtime is 7. Lights out for DS 6 at 7:30 after reading and 8 for 9 year old after he's read. They have clubs which make this about 30 minutes later twice a week. It's the same at the weekends and holidays. It could be later if we have trips or are out at friends,
