Worried about my son's sleep

My older son is 6.5, he's very active, does lots of sports, and is doing extremely well at school academically (top of the class as I'm told by his teacher). No problem with his behaviour in general, perhaps a bit of attitude and could be whiny if doesn't get his way but nothing unusual. I feel that this information is important.

I'm really worried about his sleep. A few years ago he'd go down at around 8.30pm and I thought that was late. After a while that became 9pm, then 9.30 and now he just wouldn't fall asleep before 10. He'll lay there tossing and turning and talking and asking for water/food/toilet/anything else he could think of, but won't sleep until 10pm. He would then wake up anytime between 6 and 7am. In my opinion this is extremely little amount of sleep for such a young child. I'm at my wits end now with this sleep issue.

Any suggestions how to make him fall asleep earlier/wake up later? I'm worried it can affect his health.

Thanks in advance Smile
