[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10-11hrs. I can tell when he’s only gotten 9 because he is irritable. [/quote] +1. Irritable and low energy if he gets fewer than 10 hrs. Bedtime is 8:30 and he wakes naturally usually around 7. If he goes to bed late, he’ll still wake up at the same time (never sleeps in, even once when we got back from a trip at 1am…he still was up at 7 the next day!) and just be cranky all day. [/quote] This is a key point. My 7 year now will sleep in by an hour or slightly more, and it gives us a lot more flexibility around bedtime (not on school days obviously). I assume it's hormonal/developmental and happens for all older kids at some point. Certainly before the teen years![/quote]
