What time do your children go to bed?

My little ones always go to bed at 8 p.m. Sometimes they are begging to go to bed earlier. Occasionally, on busy days they are allowed to stay up a little longer but not much later than 8:30 or 9. I believe this keeps them well rested. They sleep at least 12 hours a night!!

My kids are like yours. 830 pm is the latest. Most nights, they are asking at about 730 to go to bed. I make them wait until at least 8, though. So, around 745 pm, we do bedtime stories and by the time we are finished, it's 8 or so and they are ready for their bedtime.

Well i dont have my own children yet but i do have 2younger brothers and it's really hard for us in the house to actually ask them to go to their room and sleep.
As they still like to play and watch television.
Whenever we force them to sleep, they will tell you "later" then when you ask them again, they will answer you later again.
Then the next scene would be drama, like they will start to cry coz we're forcing them to sleep as its already 10pm and they like to play computers and they dont want to be stop from it.
Playing computer games and watching tv are their habits and its really hard to take those away from them.
Hopefully soon we could stop them.

hey there i put my 2 year old to bed around 7 to 8pm, but sometimes it does vary on wether she's tired or not. if i let her have a nap in the day she won't sleep till about 12 midnight but if she doesn't have a nap in the daytime she will sleep around 7pm to 8pm which is good and she sleeps for the full 12 hours, she loves her bed just like her mummy, lol! =)

My 8 year old's bed time is 9:30 on school nights and 10 on weekends. My 1 1/2 year old goes to bed around 8 and that's only because she is so tired. i would keep her up a little later if she could make it.

My kids got to bed between 8-8:30. We get up early for school in the mornings (and I need some alone time) so I don't want them up too late! They never have a problem getting up in the morning so I guess it is pretty good for us.

I try to get my son into bed by 8 or 8.30pm and then read to him for 30 mins or so. Its been a challenge for me over the past couple of months, and now we are slowly getting back into the routine we had last year (Lower back injury and hubby issues changed it all LOL).
