I am 13 and in 8th grade and I go to bed at 9:00-10:00. Depending on how much homework I have. 8:00 seems very early for a 12 yr old. My cousin whos 5 has to go to bed at 8, but at 12? 9:00 on the weekends? Jeeze your parents are strict.

You could try making a deal with mom and dad - if you go to bed when they want during the week with no hassle could they allow you to stay up on the weekend til you want to go to bed with the latest time being around 11:00 or 12:00? And if weekday bedtime is early at 8:00, maybe you could get some reading time in for 1/2 an hour and then lights out?

8 or 9 is a good time for during the week. The 9 o'clock bedtime on the weekends seems a little early. My girls are 8 and 6 and they stay up until 10 on Friday but only until 9 on Saturday because of church. However, your parents will still have their own rules no matter what any of us answers. Maybe the will be willing to discuss weekends with you. Good Luck!!

My daughter is the same age and has to get up at the same time as you. Kids your age need about 9 hours of sleep. My daughter has to be in bed by 9:30 and read and lights out at 10:00PM.

My 12yo has a weekday bedtime of 9:00 - but that is more for my husband and I than it is for him. WE need the quiet kid-free time. The 12yo is allowed to read for another hour before he goes to sleep.
On weekends, he doesn't have a bedtime. If he hasn't voluntarily gone to bed by midnight, I generally send him off to bed then.

If this is really bothering you I think the best thing would be to discuss this with your parents. You should be open with them as I hope my two children will be with me!! I think 8 may be a little early but then again I don't know your situation. Please talk to your parents and maybe you guys can come to a different agreement!! Good Luck!!

You need to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.

Your parents are right on track. When you get older they will increase your times.
