Just curious as dd, aged 5 1/2 seems to have cut her sleep quota this last month from a straight 11 hours to more like 10 hours and I wondered if this was typical at this age. She does seem very tired after school.

My six year old sleeps from about 9.30 ish to about 7.30 ish, so about 10 hours.

11 hrs usually. But he makes up for it at weekends when he lies in until about 9.

Mine sleeps about 12 hours. Bedtime is 6.30-7pm for her as any later and she's grumpy and irritable. Ds1 is 4 and a half and in bed about the same time, he gets tired earlier. Ds2 14 months, whenever we can get him to sleep!

I wonder if I put her to bed a bit earlier, she'd sleep a bit later in the morning? Sounds back to front but it used to work when she was a baby.

DD goes to bed at 7 til 7 but she would quite happily stay up till 8.30pm or 9pm problem is she still wakes up at the same time, she gets to stay up till 7.30 on a friday, I used to let her have a free reign on bedtime but nows shes at school im pretty strit on it and she does seem to need it
