What time do you go to bed?

[mom'sfolly]

I'm kind of a night owl, lights out at 11-11:30 and up at six. If I didn't have to get up in the morning, I'd probably never go to bed before 1 am. However, my middle schooler goes to bed at nine. He needs to sleep. Parents who let their kids stay up to midnight aren't doing them any favors. My guy is occassionally allowed coffee, not much, not often. I really don't mind the coffee as much as soda/pop, which some kids seem to drink by the gallon. I lived in Europe for awhile and kids there drink coffee or tea from a very young age, but almost never drink soda. They seem to do fine to me.

work nights, I go to bed between 10-11 pm and get up at 4:30am.. I feel better if I get to sleep in one day sat or sunday.... till 8-9am. I have a hard time falling asleep, my mind doesn't like to shut off.... and in the morning it doesn't like to start back up!

I try to be in bed by 10:00, but with three kids it is not always easy. By the time I am done helping with homework and getting everyone to bed then cleaning up after dinner and anything else I need to catch up on, bedtime for me is all over the place. On weeknights I really try to get to bed at a decent time, because I get up at 6:00 and if I don't have at least 8 hours of sleep, I feel really tired all day. Needless to say I am real tired a lot of the time.

I drive school buses and must be at school with my two daughters by 6:30am. So, my 12 yr old son goes to bed at 8:30, 10 yr daughter at 8 and 7 yr daughter at 7:30. I go to bed asap after nightly chores. By 10 at the latest or I end up with a headache the next day.

Anywhere between 11:00pm - 12:00am. Get up around 6:30am because youngest DD gets up then.
