How much sleep do your 8yr olds need and what time do they fall asleep/wake?

[Blossom4538]

Just wondering....😬😴

I wish DD would settle a little more quickly. She does have some additional needs though. I’m just tired! 🙈🤣

My nearly 8 year old doesn’t normally fall asleep til 9. Then up at 7.30. So 10.5 hours. To be honest I think another half an hour would really help her but she just doesn’t often fall asleep before 9. She’s in bed for 8pm most nights.

DD is 8 in Feb, she's generally in bed by 7.30 and asleep by 8.15. Usually wakes up around 6.30/7. This is on school days, on weekends she's allowed to stay up til 8.30 and wakes around 7.30.

DS was eight in august, wakes around 7/7.30 every day and is in bed reading before 9 with lights out at 9.

Some nights he’s asleep before and some after so it seems to work overall.

He is the youngest and older DD is up late so he’d never go much earlier anyway.

11ish hours, sometimes up to >12

Very very full on sporty prep school. He goes to bed physically exhausted

DS was also eight in August. He goes to bed at 8pm on a school night, usually asleep by 8:30ish. Then wakes at 7am for school. This is quite a recent change as he was going to bed by 7pm but has in the past year needed much less sleep than previously and when I was getting him to go to bed at around 7 he was laying there awake for ages.

DD 8 goes to bed at 8:30. Lights out 9 ( although often still messing around at 9:30)
Up at 7.

Lights out 8.15 ish. Usually asleep by half past.
Usually awake around 6.30. Needs to be up at 7.
10ish hrs.
