momma aimee Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What time does your 6 year old go to bed and wake up? bed at 6:30 or 7 (though 2 nights w week we have outside activities so Monday nights are 7:30 and Wed nights are sadly 9 pm) up at 6 (on his own, or little brother, not momma) or before -- my boy sometimes go to be ad early as 6 -- they need their sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My 7yo goes to bed at 7:30 and is up at 6:30am (by an alarm). She had the same routine when she was 6yo. DS, who will be 6yo in about 7 weeks, goes to bed at 6:30pm and wakes up at 6:30am (by alarm, it actually keeps him in bed longer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people think we are crazy. We very rarely do anything outside of the house in the evenings because it interferes with bedtime routines.

higginszoo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We try to get her into bed by 7, though some nights because of other kids' activities, it's 8-8:30. She is up between 6:30 and 7:30 (usually between 6:45 and 7) like clockwork, won't sleep in, so she has to go to bed early to get enough sleep to maintain a decent standard of behavior.

ladydusk Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Bedtime is 8-8:30ish. Daddy wakes them up before he leaves for work a little before 7. We have Quiet Time for two hours every afternoon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 She's up around 7 if DS doesn't wake her earlier. In bed around 7:30, asleep by around 8. Earlier if she's fussy and whiny! ;) We do rest time in the afternoon, but she usually only naps 1x week - Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ideally, she's asleep by 8. She ASKS to go to bed around 7:30. She'll then sleep until around 6 or 6:30. Realistically, we are busy with everyone's stuff. She goes to bed around 8:30 or 9 and gets up at 7:30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 9pm and...um...8-9am I guess? I don't really keep track. He's up before I'm out of the shower. But I've never noticed or checked to see if he's up before I get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurtis75 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If it was up to her she would stay up all night. She goes to bed between 9 and 10 depending on our work schedule. She doesn't always fall asleep. Sometimes she stays awake for 2 hours or more. If she goes to bed at 9 she would wake up on her own around 9 or 9:30 but we usually get her up between 7:30 and 8:30 depending on our schedule for the day. If it's closer to 10pm when she goes to bed she wouldn't wake up on her own until 10 or 10:30. We have quiet time most afternoons but she rarely falls asleep during quiet time. She usually reads or plays quietly in her bed. During vacation or holidays she has been known to stay up past midnight. She is definately a night owl.

NanceXToo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I put him to bed by 9ish most nights, but he doesn't fall asleep until closer to 11, it's ridiculous. (He spends that time listening to music quietly so he won't be "scared" but constantly calling us to ask us questions, check what we're doing, go to the bathroom, ask for a drink, ask if he can come in our room, ask if we can solve a math problem, ask what that sound was, to say he had a bad dream- yeah, before he even fell asleep- to ask how much longer our show will be and so on and so forth. This kid has NEVER been a good sleeper lol). At some point, usually somewhere around 11, he'll fall asleep. And then at some point in the middle of the night he will wake up, come in my room, lay on my floor, and go back to sleep there. He wakes up somewhere between 8 and 8:30 most mornings. P.S. It doesn't matter if I put him to bed earlier, either. He'd still stay awake that late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm a very relaxed parent when it comes to bedtimes. I'm usually up until 2am anyway so I don't want them up at 6 or anything like that. All of my kids go up to their rooms at 8, they can, draw, read, watch tv until midnight, then they must turn off the lights and tv and can listen to their ipod/audiobooks until they fall asleep. They usually wake up sometime between 9:30 and 11. I'm good with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He's usually in bed with the lights out watching tv by 9, falls asleep usually by 9:30/10 but there have been times it's been closer to 11. He wakes up somewhere between 6:30 and 10 am, depending on whether he's left alone or his sister wakes him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmama2 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Anywhere between 9 & 11:30 depending on the day's activities. She has a hard time falling asleep. She's usually awake by 8:30 and up around 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadassah Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'll answer concerning dd(5). Dh and I aren't terribly strict when it comes to bedtimes and wake up times. Dd is usually down around 7:15ish and up around 5:45ish (she has dh wake her up in the morning so she can get in bed with me for a few minutes).

jenangelcat Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 She's a night owl. If I let her, she'd stay up reading until midnight. I aim for her to be asleep by 9 but it rarely happens. She usually gets up at 8 when her brother wakes everyone up. I suspect that when he starts sleeping in, we'll be getting up much later.

Hilltop Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My girls (6 yrs old) go to bed between 7:00 and 7:30. They are up about 6:30am every morning, even if they went to bed late the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryMelody Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My 2 middle ones (4 and 6 years) go to bed around 9:30-10pm. They wake on their own around 8:30am-ish. I'd LOVE an earlier bedtime for them, but then they wouldn't see much of daddy except on the weekends due to daddy's work and school schedule. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgilli3 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My DD is 5 1/2 and her bedtime ( and ds 1) is 8pm. They both wake around 7.30 am The older 2 have a bedtime of 830 and they are 12 and 14. We have always been on the stricter side when it comes to bed times, as when the kids are in bed by 830, the adult tv shows start,( which Dh and I like to watch on occasion), and it gives us each night to spend together- chatting about our days, snuggling on the couch. Its like a stay-at-home date night....every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My 6 y/o is usually in bed around 8-8.30. Then I let her read for a little while. Usually she's asleep by 9-9.30, but I've told her to cut it out and go to sleep as late as 10.30+ She's not often up before 8am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 His body clock seems to wake up around 6:30am no matter what, so I have realized that 8:30pm, no later than 9pm is the sweet spot that keeps me from having a whiny baby all day the next day.

MorganClassicalPrep Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I probably shouldn't answer this.... Right now, DD goes to bed between 2-4am and wakes up between noon and 1pm. :tongue_smilie: Starting tomorrow we'll be transitioning back to a more normal schedule since I start classes in 1.5 weeks. I'm aiming for 10-8. We're night owls. We are on a somewhat normal schedule while I'm in classes, but within a week of the semester ending we've just naturally shifted later.

Cammie Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 DD6 is in bed at 8 pm and asleep by 8:05! (He plays HARD from 4-6 with the neighborhood boys!) He has to be woken up at 7:30. I think he probably needs 7-7 but I just haven't been able to swing it (with DH getting home from work only around 6:30 and wanting to spend time with the kids!)
