    3 year old goes at 7pm, 7 year old 7.30pm, 11 year old 8.30pm, 13 year old 9.30 pm.

    The 2 younger ones have 15 minutes reading time and their bedtimes won't change for quite a few years yet. The older ones half an hour of reading.

    We're all up by 6.45 am at the latest.

    7pm for our 4 year old boys...... we shower at 6:15/30pm before bed at 7pm and they boys are up for 6:30/45am'ish after a full nights undisturbed sleep, which I thank god for as I need my sleep too and I am usually only a couple of hours behind the boys;)

    The boys ask to go to bed on some days so it definaltely won't be changing here soon, they start reception in September too.

    My two are 5 and 8 and their bedtime routine starts between 6.45-7pm. They don't bath every night as it doesn't do their skin and hair any good at all, but they'll have a bath or shower about 3 times a week, or at this time of year if they've been to the beach or are particularly dirty! DD will read quietly in her room and also likes to have the radio on quietly (radio 4/4 extra, believe it or not!) or a CD, but DS likes to cause chaos for a good hour or so before crashing. And the lighter nights definitely have a bearing on their ability to go to sleep. But I appreciate my "me time" and am often glad to see them head off up the wooden hill!!
