[quote=Anonymous]Once they would sleep late to make up for it and/or not have a negative effect on behavior. I can't remember exact ages (and it kind of was a gradual thing), but my kids are now 12, 10, and 5. 12 yo is great at self regulating sleep (it's funny bc she's the worst at regulating emotions) - if she's tired she'll go to bed early or take a nap and she will sleep in late. So she could swing late nights pretty early on. 10 yo is still bad at recognizing she is tired and starts getting whiny when overtired. She had a few late nights and we made her take a nap yesterday, which she protested, and then she was out for 2.5 hours. 5 yo has high sleep needs (about 13 hrs/day) so we try to be pretty strict about bedtime, but of course with two older siblings, he naturally will do some more evening activities. His bedtime is 6:30/7, though, so a late night for him would be 8:30, not 10pm. [/quote]
