[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:30 is NOT too early for a 12 year old’s bedtime. The American Academy of Sleep Doctors recommended 9-12 hours of sleep every 24 hours for a child of that age. If they need to be up at 6am, 8:30 is a perfectly sound bedtime assuming it might take them up to an hour to actually be asleep in their beds.

OP in this day and age of endless digital entertainment, MANY parents are letting their kids be sleep deprived and it shows in school settings where teachers like me have to deal with cranky overtired kids who struggle to focus and learn. Don’t listen to the ‘parents’ here suggesting your 12 year olds should be up later than the very reasonable bedtime you  and their mom have agreed to. Staying up a little later on the weekends occasionally is okay, but even then sleep hygiene works best when it is adhered to regularly- that’s how we keep our brains healthy.

And no, it’s not okay for mom to blame you and make you the bad guy around bedtime or any other discipline.[/quote]
