[quote=Anonymous]Our 6 year old starts bed time at 7:30 and is generally asleep by 8:15. After bedtime stories, he typically reads on his own for 15ish minutes before falling asleep. He wakes up between 6:45 and 7:15. I would definitely say that we don't see any correlation (at least not in the direction you're hoping) between bed time and wake time (with appropriate regular bed times - sure the occasional super late night for something special (talking midnight here) might lead to waking up around 8). However generally on nights he goes to bed closer to 9 for whatever reason, he tends to wake up earlier (which always feels very annoying to my adult sensibilities as this tends to weekends/holidays when we could be sleeping in).

Sleep is important (for kids and adults). Time to self is important (for kids and adults).

The main hard things we have found, he is not very good about having different routines based on the day of the week. Weekdays we need to get moving to be ready for school. Weekends it would be ideal if he could spend more time playing on his own, reading, start his own breakfast, etc. All of which he CAN do. But with there being more weekdays than weekends, routine kicks in. [/quote]
