omg wow.
this year I let her start going to sleep later. first, because she always wakes up on her own with enough time in the morning to get ready to go to school calmly and second, the sibling under her needs much less sleep and has a hard time falling asleep too so I couldn't put 10yr old dd to sleep so early.

it ended up being that DD10 goes to sleep at 9:30. and she sobs many nights that its an embarrassment that she goes to bed so early and her classmates know because they sometimes call later then that and they then make announcements in class about her.

I was feeling so bad for her but later then that is crazy late and I cannot handle having her up so late. I have to work at night and need to clean up too!!

and now everyone so far says their DD"s go to sleep way earlier than that. what's going on? where are all those mom's whose dd's call mine at 9:15, 9:30 Smile

My 4th grader is just starting to get ready for bed now 😩. My first grader goes to sleep 8:30, wakes up on her own at 7:30, bus comes 8:30, so that’s perfect.
My 4th grader ideally should be in bed 9:30.
But it’s usually not before 10. Or 10:30 🙈🙈.
She wakes up early though; gets herself ready in the morning and all. So I’m not going to force her to go to sleep earlier.

at that age they need 8-10 hours of sleep so my just turned 10 year old goes to sleep around 9 or 9:30 and wakes up around 7.

I was just discussing it with her. Her bedtime is 8:30ish. But then she reads in bed and I don't check up on her to see until what time she reads.

She claims most girls' bedtime is 9:00, and her best friend's bedtime is 9:30, but that kid is the oldest of 6 and helps her mother a ton. She can only do her homework at 9:00 because that's when the house is quiet, and that's when she calls my DD (who is in bed already).

DD doesn't help much. She comes home from school at 4:30, does her homework right away, and then eats supper. From when she finishes eating around 5:30 she has three solid hours to do whatever she wants.

My 10 yo DD in fifth grade is supposed to be in bed by 8:30. Sometimes she's a little later, but latest latest 9. In the morning she doesn't always wake up on her own, sometimes I wake her at 8, giving her a half hour to be ready for the bus.
She often doesn't get a straight night's sleep because my baby shares a room with her and wakes up 1-3 times a night...

4th grader , age 9. Between 9:00 and 10:00. My older kids were probably in bed by 8:00 at that age . I’m just to lazy to put him to bed …

8.30-9, usually 9 but I think she needs 8.30.
She's gets up at 6.30

I'm a big believer that sleep deprivation is a cause of so many issues our kids have nowadays
