In our house, up until 9 years, bedtime is 7:30-8pm.

Above 9 years, it's 8:30pm (our eldest is 11).

[*CalamityJane*]

My 2 x 8.5 yr olds are sent to bed at 8pm, but are often still wide awake at 9. We have started letting them read at 8 for about 15 mins and that seems to send them off to sleep sooner. They are up 7 - 7.30am (one voluntarily, the other usually has to be dragged out of bed).

We don't do strict bedtimes in this family as we're a mix of night owls and early birds.

DD (8) needs about 11 hours of sleep a night, so she generally goes to bed (goes to sleep immediately) around 8.30pm and wakes up around 7.30am.

DD (9) needs about 9 - 10 hours of sleep, so he generally goes to bed around 9pm but then (he's a night owl, like me) reads for a couple of hours, til around 10.30pm. He wakes up around 8am on school mornings.

DS1 just turned 9, he goes to bed between 8-8:30pm most nights. He has the occasional later night, up to 9pm on a school night or 9:30pm on weekends/holidays, but then that is balanced out by a night (or two or three, depending on how late he was up) of being in bed with the lights out no later than 8pm.
He wakes up between 6-6:30am most of the time. This is the time he naturally wakes up...I wish he'd learn to sleep in, actually I wish ALL my kids would learn to sleep in LOL

We still read to my nearly 9yo. (will do so until she tells us to stop!), so she is usually in bed not long after 8 and lights out by 8.30.

She normally has to be woken up at 7.20, so I figure she can't stay up any later at this stage...

DD1 goes to bed at 9-9.30 and gets up at 6.15 to go to school.

[No girls here]

My nearly 8 year old (and my 6 year old) have lights out at 8pm or a bit later. It takes him a while to go to sleep but is usually asleep by 9pm. He's up at 6am every morning.

[LittleMissPink]

Bed at 8pm, asleep by 8.30pm.

Up at 6.45-7am every day

By this age I started to bring in a bedtime rule that actually more revolved around the mornings. If they were unable to get up under their own steam, then they were not getting enough sleep, so bed time needed to be earlier. Now they are nearly 11 and go to bed at around 9pm (give or take half an hour) and most mornings get up without my waking them, or only require me to open their doors and say good morning and they are up without drama (this is usually at around 7-7.30am).

My ds has just turned 9 but has had the same sleep time for quite a few years, very low sleep need. Currently he goes to bed 8.30 sometimes still awake at 9 and he's up by 5.30 - 6 am at the latest. Our dd at 6 is asleep by 7 and wakes about 6
