8:45 for a 13 yr old is extreme.
Extreme just because of what time it is? Or extreme because it’s asking them to sleep too much?
8:45 - 6:20 is 9.5 hours of sleep. Assuming they fall asleep at 9 or 9:15, it’s 9 hours of sleep, right in the middle of what doctors suggest for optimal growth, performance, and mental health.

11-12 when I was that age
My son crashes at 9 almost every night but he’s a bit younger

But I am curious how others handle sleep schedules as their kids have gotten older.
What time do they need to wake up on a given school day, they need 10+ hours of sleep (all of mine are still pre-teens), that is when they need to be lying in bed. The actual bedtime process will start about an hour before (brush teeth, change to pjs, read stories, 10 minutes to just talk...)
