What time does your 5 year old go to bed?

What time does your 5 year old go to bed and fall asleep??

In bed between 7-7.30pm, story and then left to sleep.

Upstairs at 7-7.15, lights out around 8pm. Usually asleep in 10 minutes. Wakes up at 7ish.

4.5 year old here. He goes up to bed about 7.30. We normally have a book and a chat and then lights out about 7.45/8. He's generally asleep pretty soon after that.

In bed for 7, he will either read his book or we will read 2 books to him then light out and straight ti sleep by 7:20

8pm (for a 5.5 yo)

ideally it would be 7-7.30 but they have a sibling who is a year older (they are Y1 and Y2) and nowhere near tired at that time - they also tend play quite nicely together 7-8pm so it's less hassle to just send them both together and avoid the drama of interrupting their game.

its a hard deadline though and they both know that any arguing or messing about will land them both in bed before 8pm

the 5 yo goes to sleep almost immediately at 8pm and the 7yo reads for another 30 mins or so and falls asleep book in hand around 8.30

Exactly the same as @Iudncuewbccgrcb

Usually tucked in by 7, she falls asleep fairly quickly after her story.

My little boy goes to bed 7-7:15, we read a few stories (he's a real book worm) but he's not falling asleep for ages and ages! He still gets up at around 6:30/7 am and is full of beans all day, I don't know where he's getting the energy from!

Just wanted to know everyone else's bedtimes as I thought I might be putting him down too early

My 5.5yo is in bed for 8pm and usually asleep by 8.20-8.30 after storytime. Older DC have a 9pm bedtime. Both DC wake up around 7.30, earlier at the weekend

8pm, but he also didn’t need to get up until 8am (we live close to school and have a very efficient morning routine).

I think most 5 year olds need about 12 hours sleep, so I’d look at when you need him to wake up and count backwards. If you are having to shake him awake in a morning, he’s going to bed too late.

8pm bedtime here. We have actually just moved it forward a bit it was 8.20/8.30.

8pm bedtime hasn't made a difference to his wake up time which is about 6.30am/7am. Ideally I'd like to try and move it a little more (as long as it doesn't effect wake up time!) But I'm 38 weeks pregnant and don't want him to link the earlier bedtime to the baby coming!

4.5yo goes at 7pm, though that is in part a practical consideration as her big brother goes at 8, and it's easier to offset them so they don't get each other worked up. Would probably be more like 7.30-8.00 if she was an only.
