[quote=Anonymous]Middle school is when I start letting my kids pick their own bedtime for the most part. Rules are, can't disturb the rest of the house after 8 PM (younger sibling's bedtime), must be awake on time to meet any scheduled commitments the next day (school, whatever we might be doing on the weekend, etc), and grades, behavior & contributions to the household must remain acceptable. If we have to start trying to solve a problem, lack of sleep is going to be one of the first potential things I consider and then they will get a set bedtime, but I figure individual needs vary and my kids are likely to know their needs best so they can do what works for them as long as it is actually working. I've found that anywhere from 8-10 hours is typical but on nights where anyone gets less than 7 hours they're miserable the next day.[/quote]
