What's your child's bedtime?

I have a few friends that were preg with me, so our kids are the same age. And two of them put their boys down at 10:00 or 11:00pm! I was really surprised at that! What a long night for them!


Cameron used to go to sleep at 7:30 until recently. Now he goes down at 8:30. But he gets a good 12 hours in at night.

And he takes a 3-4 hour nap in the afternoon.


Just curious to see when your kids go to sleep. And has their bedtime changed once they got older?

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: usually 7 but if Matt takes a really good nap 8...Katy is a goner by 7 unless someone else is here to entertain her

Kaitlin'smom replied: 8:30 most nights. I would perfer 8p just cause she is up during the week at 6:30-7a she does that on her own. Weekends she will sleep till 8a. She still takes a nap also usually 2 hours.

5littleladies replied: My girls all go to bed at 8:30, except for Lissie-She usually goes down around 11. Weekends vary-Sometimes we stick to 8:30, others we let them stay up later.

MamaJAM replied: DS#2 goes to bed between 7:00-7:30.
DD#3 goes to bed at 7:30.
DD#2 goes to bed at 8:00.
DS#1 goes to bed between 8:30-9:00.
DD#1 heads up for a shower, etc at 9:00 - and heads to her bedroom after that - lights-out for her is at 10:00.

We all have to get up at 6:30am....and DS#2 still takes a daily nap (2-3 hours)....DS#1 takes the occasional nap (1-2 hours).

Bedtimes are always changing around here. First - they get earlier (as they become toddlers) -- then they get later (as approach the teen-years).

TANNER'S MOM replied: Tanner 8:30 school nights.. Weekends up to him
Justin 9 school nights..unless he is lazy and the 8:30 next day with Tanner
Brittany 10-11 but she usually gets herself up and dressed..

To be honest on weekends I go to bed first and shut the door..
I find them on the couch, in each others room..Bad Mommy I know. But my kids are older!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Wil is always in bed by 8pm, sometimes a bit later if he took a long afternoon nap.

3xsthefun replied: Weekdays- 9:00 - 9:30

Weekends- sometimes they stay up to 10-10:30 depends how tired they are. Also how well they are listening to us or if they are fighting. If they start fighting and screaming they go to bed earlier.

coasterqueen replied: Megan goes down around 7:00/7:30 depending on her mood. Kylie's bedtime routine starts at 6:30 with a cartoon, 7:00 is bedtime with stories, 7:30 it's off to la-la land. She's asleep by 8/8:30 pm. She gets up about between 6 and 6:30. Megan gets up anywhere from 5 am and 6:00 am.

We try to stick to the same routine for the weekend unless we are doing something special, which is rare.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Mackenzie's bedtime is 9:00. Sometimes she is asleep earlier. She gets up from 7:30 to 8:00. She usually takes a 2 hour afternoon nap.

PrairieMom replied: we usually start bath at 7:45, and by 8:15 its lights out.

MomToMany replied: They all go to bed (the girls nurse to sleep) at 7:30, weekends too.

gr33n3y3z replied: Katie is 12 on school nights she goes to bed around 9 or 9:30
But I never have to tell her she just up and does it

Erin is 16 and she goes to bed around 10 or 11 or when she is tired I never have to tell her either and she gets herself up in the am for school and wakes me up LOL

Weekend Its when ever they want but its almost always around the weekday times

My2Beauties replied: Hanna goes to "bed" at 9pm right now. but that doesn't mean she is sleeping. We used to just put her to bed whenever she was getting sleepy, but now that she has a big girl bed and she loves it so much she wants to sit in her bed and read and stuff. So we put her in there at about 9:00 but she doesn't fall asleep until sometimes almost 10:00. She sleeps later, better for me.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Our girls go to bed around 10/1030 on most nights. I get home around 915/930, and they are wound up from playing at my mothers house when I come in. They are at my mothers house until 8pm, sometimes later. When Chris' schedule goes back to getting off at 8 in the summer, it will be after 9 before they come home. Other than brushing their teeth at night they are ready for bed. Baths are taken during the day, and I send them to my mothers with their nightclothes on. So they are night owls.

Naps start at 12 (most days) they usually nod off by 1pm and are up by 3:30/4pm

kimberley replied: boys: 8pm hopefully asleep before 9pm during the week. will let them stay up til 10ish on the weekend.

Jade: she does not understand the term "bedtime"
Kaleigh... obviously nothing set yet but she does stay sleeping for longer periods from 10pm on.

mommymonster replied: Maddy and Joey are in bed and asleep between 8 and 8:30

mom21kid2dogs replied: Olivia goes to bed when we do~11pm. We co sleep so that just naturally filters out that way. Also, she has never required the same amount of sleep other kids do, unfortunately. We usually don't get up til 9 or 9:30. She gave up naps for good at 2.

ediep replied: between 8 and 8:30

My3LilMonkeys replied: Madison goes to bed whenever she gets tired, but it is usually between 7 and 8.

Brooke's bedtime is 10 (DH works late and likes that she'll sleep in a little more in the morning) but some nights she goes early if she's really cranky. Weekends are a little more leniant, sometimes she does not go to bed until 11 or 12.

CosmetologyMommy replied: Aidan usually will go to sleep at 8 and wake up at about 4 for a bottle and then sleep til 7 when I wake him up. Hey, that reminds me, I NEVER HAD A BEDTIME WHEN I WAS GROWING UP! I REMEMBER ON THE WEEKEND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 10 STAYING UP ALLLLL NIGHT WATCHING MOVIES!

luvmykids replied: I like to have them in bed by 8, they're usually asleep around 9. But I think the twins are getting ready to quit naps altogether. The days they miss naps they're asleep by 7:30, if they take even a 20 minute nap they're in bed but awake until 10! Which I guess shouldn't bother me if they're quiet and in their rooms, Macie is in bed by 8 and still takes a 2 hour nap (12-2) and they all wake up around 6:30 no matter what.

3_call_me_mama replied: kathleen goes to bed 8- 8:15 depending on when she go tup from nap .Usually she' sasleep by 8;05. She gets up generally between 7-8 in teh morning. Sometimes later. Naps a 3+ hour nap in teh afternoon.

Cameron goes to bed 8:15-8:30. Falls asleep sometime after then but usually by 9. Gets up between 7:30 adn 8:30 depending on the day. No naps for him.
same goes fo rweekends. We try to keep it consistant so there is less confusion for them. Also if we are out all day Cameron will take a nap, about an hour but it's rare

TeagansMom609 replied: It used to be 8:30 but since Ive been on maternity leave I have been letting her stay up later. Sometimes until 9:30.

MommyToAshley replied: Ashley's is around 9:00 PM. However we are flexible if something special is going on, then she can stay up later.

moped replied: 7pm here everynight, wakes up at 7am, nap at 9 and a nap at 2

Lexismama replied: Alexis goes to bed around 10 or so. She is a night hawk, has been since the day she was born but she also sleeps till 10 and has a 2-4 hour nap in the afternoon.

~~*Missi*~~ replied: Sabrina goes down by 8pm! If she is tired it can be as early as 7 but never ever later then 8: 830 unless we are at some crazy canadians house to the wee hours LOL!! No no she was still asleep in the car at what 945pm LOL

Lexismama replied: We are NOT crazy Canadians, we are crazy canucks, get it straight LOL. Love ya girl

Celestrina replied: Usually between 8-9 o'clock. He generally gets up around 7:30 to 8:00. Normally he takes a 1-2 hour nap.

holley79 replied: Well let's see:

Tuesday night Annika was asleep by 10, Wednesday night was at 11 and Thursday night she was up all night till 0600 Friday morning. Tonight she was asleep at 10 but has been up every hour to nurse. So I guess the million dollar answer to that question is:

When she darn well pleases and I better like it.
