Damn. That's early af for an 11 year old.


She has to get up at 5:30 for school and even during the summer is usually up by 6:30. Dealing with her the day after when we know she didn't actually fall asleep till 9:30 or so is a literal nightmare. So no, it's not early.

These little baws and guhs are napping like mug during the day, still, though. They need 11 to 14 hours of sleep at night? From 1900 to 0700, uninterrupted?


Yea, I'm thinking that supposed to be total sleep throughout the day, including naps. Which is much more reasonable sounding.

My 20 month old goes to bed at 7 and my 3 year old goes to sleep at 7:30. They are usually asking to go earlier.

We are flexible when needed like guests or going out but my kids are up by 6:30 everyday no matter when they went to bed. I don't care what others think about it because they are my kids and others have their own styles. Ours works for us and if yours works for you, great. Nobody is wrong either way.

That might include naps, but those aren't guaranteed. One of my toddlers is wishy washy lately as far as nap time and will maybe get an hour and half if he sleeps at all. To each their own, but our kids need the sleep. And it's not like they are actually "protesting" it. That's just bedtime. We're not robbing them of life experiences or anything.

20 month old: 7-7:30

3.5 year old: usually around 8:30. Sometimes 9 if he had a long nap that day, sometimes 7:30 if he didn't nap.

Ours are 3 and 6. We typically put them in bed by 7:30 during the school year and wake them up at 5:40 the next morning.

As a kid, it was always 11:00 for as long as I remember. Sometimes, I got to watch all of Jay Leno and stay up to 11:30

The consensus group recommends the following sleep hours:
Infants 4 months to 12 months should sleep 12 to 16 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

Children 1 to 2 years of age should sleep 11 to 14 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

Children 3 to 5 years of age should sleep 10 to 13 hours per 24 hours (including naps) on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

Children 6 to 12 years of age should sleep 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

Teenagers 13 to 18 years of age should sleep 8 to 10 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

The group found that adequate sleep duration for age on a regular basis leads to improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, emotional regulation, quality of life, and mental and physical health. Not getting enough sleep each night is associated with an increase in injuries, hypertension, obesity and depression, especially for teens who may experience increased risk of self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

1900 to 0630 for a 20-month old isn't completely insane (still an 11 1/2 hour window, and 11 for the 3 year old). I'll grant you that. Pre-school age, my kids tended to follow their mother's schedule - asleep by 2200ish (sometimes earlier) and awake by 0800.

Since I joined the Army, I have trouble sleeping in - so I try to be asleep at 2300 every night. It's tough to sleep past 6 even when I want to, so I choose how much sleep I'm getting by going to bed earlier.

Mostly, I'm laughing at the school age parents with their 7 to 8 windows. That's literally crazy. Your situation isn't too bad.

My wife puts the kid to bed sometime after 9. I go to sleep st 9. The 7 year old has learned she has to go to bed or be tired for school because her arse is going either way. They don't really have a bed time. But they have to get in their room when the wife gets tired of their shite.

Exactly. Again, not going to tell people how to parent, but I know people who let their kids stay up till whenever, and there kids can be real monsters.

Regardless of the actual amount of sleep, having them on a regular routine is probably the more important factor.

Pretty sure my 5 year old has read "Art of the Deal". He becomes a master negotiator when it's bed time.

5 year old - tv/games off @8/lights out @8:30
2 year old - lights out @8

He starts kinder on Monday. This all may change

My girls are 3 and 1 and rock the hell out of that 7-6am sleep. On the weekends we try to let them stay up and they go full retard. If the 3 year old stays up past 8 or 9 just looking at her will send her into epic tantrum levels.

Also, as someone has said, no matter what time they go to bed they wake up at the same time.
