I stayed at my hometown for Yom tov. Due to an unexpected family situation we ended up staying until a couple of hours ago. A little more than a week. My kids days are all messed up. The younger ones nap but my other kids, grades 1-8, are passed napping. They have all been getting up at 6:30-7. We've all been going to see close to 11:00 even the younger ones. We traveled back last night the kids went to sleep 5-6:00 am. They have to go back to school this week. What time should I wake them up today? How do I put them back on a normal schedule.

I would wake everyone up by 12. I would not allow for anyone over age 2 to nap.
If anyone is zonked then can do bedtime a bit early. Those that can't fall asleep can read in bed.
Bathe/shower everyone tonight so bodies are more relaxed.

You may have midnight wakeups...

Also Melo is made for desperate times like these.

Good luck.

I’d wake them soon and put everyone to sleep really early like 7/8. If the older kids can’t sleep yet I’d have them read in bed so they can start the resting process.
