what do you think is a good bedtime?

Question

what do you think are good bedtimes for an 11 year old, and 13 year old? Should they go to bed at the same times? what time if so?? was just curious to see what others bedtimes are ( on school nights of course!!!)

Answer 1

9:30 pm. that is the time my brothers and I all went to bed when we were in school. now that I am in college and Highschool at the same time I go to bed at 2:30 am

Answer 2

My daughter has hair brushed, face washed and teeth brushed by 9 reads for 30 mins and lights out at 930 and she is 11. On the weekends her bedtime is 11. If the 13 year old has her own room I would say bed at 10 on school nights.

Answer 3

10

Answer 4

10

Answer 5

I am answering as a parent of course.

It may seem cruel but at that age I would think the latest bedtime should be 9:00 p.m.

I would give the 11 year old a bedtime of 8:00 p.m. and the 13 year old 8:30 to give parents time to spend a little time with each child.

At this age it is very easy to skimp on the amount of sleep needed. Many experts will tell you that 10 hours is essential.

Answer 6

Of course school nights. But since they are in middle school they should probably go to sleep at maybe 9:00 or 9:30. But if the teacher complaines that they fall asleep in class everyday or they look tired then move it to 8:30. Since you 13 year old is going to high school if she can manage to wake up at 6:30-7:00, go to school, work hard all day, come home, do homework, eat, take a shower, and then sleep without waking up the next day tired then let her go to sleep at 10:00. But if she can't, 9:30. But you have to watch that. For the 11 year old keep it the same until she goes to high school (like I told you about your 13 year old). You don't want them to stay up too late! Well i hoped I helped! ♥

Answer 7

Well I know this aint a real good answer but I'm 12 and on school nights I go to bed at 11 or if I'm watchin a movie 12 and on weekends I go to bed at around 1 or 2 but that aint a good idea most people think but I don't know why people always say this 8 hour s**t coz it makes no difference to me I tried to go to bed early once I think it were 9 or 10 and it really made no difference coz in the end I still fell asleep at 12 oh yeah i think you should send them to bed at the same time by the way coz if you dont then the younger one will start to say 'why do you send her/him to bed later than me that's not fair man.'

Answer 8

9:30 for a 11 year old 10:30 for a 13 year old

Answer 9

I think they should both have the same bed time. I think bed time should be no later than 9:00 pm for that age. I might even try earlier because kids need their sleep but they might fight that! :) How about 8:30 to bed and they read until lights out at 9:00? Or 9:00 to bed with a book with lights out at 9:30?

Answer 10

I think that the 11 year old shoul be out to bed at 9:00 and the 13 yr old at 9:30 because it give them a little more freedom and makes them feel a lil more grown up.

Answer 11

They should go to bed at the same time- 9pm in my opinion. In the teen years, they grow very fast and need lots of sleep. It's the second time for the fastest part of brain development/growth only after their 1st year of life. Plus, by that age, they're probably in middle school and start earlier than elementary. Our elementary kids start at 8:32 here, middle school even earlier. They need their sleep!

My 2, 4, 5, and 9 yr olds go to bed at 8.
