[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are waking your kids up, then they aren't getting enough sleep.

Start with an earlier bedtime so they are naturally awake by 6:30. That also saves them needing time to fully wake up. [/quote]

Ah yes.  If only my kids would actually go to bed when I tell them instead of getting out of bed 95 times and telling me they cant sleep/need water/just remembered they had homework/have a pain somewhere, etc etc etc[/quote]

Can't sleep: think and count sheep

Water: bottle at bedside

Homework: tomorrow.

Pain: sleep it off

Stop enabling. [/quote]

NP, but my kid’s circadian rhythm is hard wired. She doesn’t get out of bed, but can easily lie there for an hour or two reading or just in the dark. If your goal is for them to be in bed, then sure, stop enabling. But if your goal is to get X amount of sleep before waking up at Y time, then please, tell me your magic secret (other than counting sheep, that is).

We’re 45-60 minutes as well. Nobody except me wakes up with pep in their step, so 45 minutes gives us enough time without it turning into a struggle.[/quote]
