[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Lights out 8:30, asleep by 9. Awake between 6:15-7. It actually varies a lot, and she used to be more consistent. Until February she was lights out 7:30 but started waking at 5:30. After 6 weeks of that, we just decided to go with DST and her old 7:30 bedtime became 8:30 and at least she was sleeping past 6.  DH and I are not early risers. [/quote]

11:00 PP here. My kids aren't allowed out of their rooms until 7:00 not matter what time they wake up (except to go to the bathroom). They get up and play in their rooms until the clock says 7:00. When they were 2-3 and too young to know numbers we had a light in their room that turned blue at 7:00 then they knew it was time to come out. I too am not a morning person and I am not dealing with kids before 7!

My 4 yr old sleeps 2 hours a night more than your DD and would be a monster on 2 less hours of sleep a night. It took a lot of work to get her sleeping by 7:00 - she would love to stay up later but I am a big stickler for sleep due to the behavior/ learning / health problems related to poor or insufficient sleep.

Can you tire her out ore during the day then see if you can move to an earlier bedtime?[/quote]
