[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 5 and 8 and dont know how to sleep in. They are up at 6:30 every day. So bedtime is still 8:30 with them falling asleep by 9. Occasional later night is ok but they just fall asleep on couches etc. Camp starts earlier than school for us anyway. [/quote] Same here, but they’re up by 6, and asleep by 7:30 or 8. Our 8 year old is yawning through dinner and usually falls asleep pretty quickly around 7:45 or so. We’ve tried a few times the past couple of summers to gradually switch them to later bedtimes without success, and after a week or two of later nights and earlier mornings, someone, usually the 8yo, winds up sick. It sucks because they’re getting to an age that so many activities are in the evenings, and it doesn’t work well for them to participate. We do occasionally keep them up for special events, and that is usually okay, we just have to plan for a chill day or two afterward or someone will get sick. [/quote]
