[quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader is occasionally up until close to 11 but he more usually falls asleep between 9 and 10. At the beginning of the year I had him on his old bedtime of between 7:30-8:30. He'd grown to need less sleep and being in bed early made him restless and made it more difficult for him to fall asleep. I shifted his bedtime to 8-9 and things started improving. Now he's typically in his room tucked in by 8:30, and he'll read or journal until about 9-9:15 and then he turns his light out. Two days a week he has a later bedtime (in bed by 9:30, lights out by 10) because of other commitments. Occasionally he will sleep in on the weekends but he's typically up at his regular 6:30am time. I use that as my indicator that he's getting enough sleep.[/quote]
