My 14 year old became nocturnal during lock down as her school didn't have set times to log on. She now has to be at the bus stop at 6:15 and gets up at 5:30. She is very good about trying to be asleep by 9:30 but has just admitted that is to prevent bags under eyes for school the next day rather than worrying about being alert for class!

DS is 12 and usually goes to bed at 8pm, but reads/watches You Tube for about an hour. DD is 14 and goes to bed at 9pm and usually watches TV for an hour. At weekends I leave it up to them - although they usually go to bed at the same time but will watch TV for longer. They are both good sleepers and no trouble getting up for school.

DD is 12 and on a school night she’s usually asleep by 10-10:30. (she’s usually in bed and reading for a bit before going to sleep). She gets up for school around 7am.
At a weekend I leave it up to her a bit more - but it’s very rare she’s up later than 11. She does like a lie-in on a weekend though. x

On school nights DD 14 goes upstairs about 9.30 but faffs about and sometimes reads so not sure when she actually goes to sleep but is always up at 7am. At weekends it is normally 10/10.30 depending on what we are watching on tv. DS 17 goes about 10.00 on school nights and also up at 7am but he will get up later at the weekend.

Also phones are left downstairs, no laptops or ipads allowed on and the odd time I have found DD on ipad at nght it has been confiscated for a period of time.

DS age 14 has to head upstairs about ten past nine and usually reads for half an hour but generally doesn't fall asleep until ten.DH and I head to bed about half ten to quarter to eleven.
DS gets up for school just after seven. At weekends he still wakes up before half seven, doesn't lie in

Dd 13 doesn’t have a set time, she’s tired by 9 and will take her self up to bed without prompting so I don’t tell her as I honestly think they really need to work things like this out for them selves.

She has to be up at 6:30 for the bus and has a fair walk up hill to the stop, a few late nights and they soon work out it’s a bad idea😂

Friday and Saturday nights I have no idea what time she goes to bed as I’m asleep first!

Wow that is early, but then when to they get up? Do they have jobs?

I was never given a set bedtime probably age 12/13 onwards. I left school and was working just before 16. Maybe my parents were more chilled than some. I can't say mine were given a time to go to bed either by this age. They just went to bed when ready. Still manged to do their homework, study etc as all working and doing well. Our youngest is now 22, so not too old school IMHO

Mine don't have a bedtime. They are 14, 16 (and eldest, almost 20). I trust them to sleep when they're tired. Since they started secondary school, I've never had to wake them in the morning, and 99% of the time, they're ready to leave the house well before I'm ready to take them. They are top-of-the-class students, and the only thing I have to complain about them is the state of their bedrooms!

As a parent, I choose my battles and see no reason in creating an issue where there doesn't need to be one.

Meet your twin.😁

My lot are 9, 12, 16 and all go to bed at 8.30pm or earlier. It has been known for them to go to bed at 7pm if they are grumpy and start yawning. They are all asleep within thirty minutes.

No phones, televisions or laptops in their bedroom at bedtime.

They have also been known to say they are going to bed before 8.30 because they are tired. They seldom sleep late, they wake up 6.30/7am every day. My little angels need at least ten hours sleep, they have a miserable day without it.
