[quote=Anonymous]My 6.5 year old kindergartener has been sleeping 10 hours a night for a few years now. Bedtime is 8:00, she falls asleep around 8:30, and is up between 6:30-7:00. For the last month or so, she’s been totally unable to fall asleep before 9:30 and is asking if she can get out of bed at 6:00 (she’s allowed up at 7:00 now). She doesn’t seem tired in the mornings or evenings even though she’s getting about an hour less sleep per night. Did your kids reduce their sleep needs around that age? Is it time to shift to a “big kid” bedtime? Or could it just be the longer spring evenings and earlier sunrises? We’ve tried playing outside more in the evenings, earlier and longer bedtime routines to help wind down, and melatonin. No luck. What should we do next?[/quote]
