Little guy can go to sleep at midnight and still be up before the sun! School nights normally 10pm
My son will be 6 at the end of June. He started kindergarten as a newly turned 5 year old and he was having trouble falling asleep. He would be tossing and turning for hours. We took him to his dr and Dr put him on 1mg melatonin. He has been perfect ever since starting it. He also SAYS he loves it because he doesn’t have to think about it. He is in bed at 730 on school nights and falls asleep almost immediately. He sleeps until 6:15 when he wakes up for school. He is a very active kid as well.
My son is 6 and he sleeps at 8:30 and wakes up at 6:30am for school. Then a nap of 45-1hr around 5pm.
Whoa……that is one early to bed, early to rise routine. 😅😅 We live in the NYC metropolitan region, she’s June 2019 but always on the lower end of sleep ranges even as a newborn. In the past 12-18 months or so bedtime was adjusted to 8:30/9pm, and she’s usually awake between 7:30-8:30 even on weekends (her kindergarten doesn’t start until 9:30am).
We have a boy who's about to turn 6 and we live on a farm with chores to do plus spring and fall soccer. We're outside every chance and pretty active. We start the bedtime routine of I read a few chapters to them in our room and they go to their own so I can go coding l cuddle with each one for a handful of minutes and listen to their stories or write l worries. We aim to walk out of their rooms ( 3 kids-8, 6, 4) by 730 to 745 depending upon how out it all goes. They get up on their own half the time by 630, but will need to be awoken by 7 to get to school. I do let them sleep as late as they need on Saturday and if they're emotional Saturday all day, I let them sleep Sunday and skip church
My son turns 6 in October and he sleeps 10-12 hours depend on how he's tired, he usually falls asleep 8.30-9pm, never nap. He will start KG in September and I am nervous about his adjustment
Mine falls asleep between 7:40-8:30 and wakes up between 12-4 for 1-3 hours then gets up between 6-8 for the day
Mine generally goes to sleep between 7-8 and wakes up around 6. He goes to bed later when he has scouts because it doesn't end until 8.
We start our bedtime routine at 8 and he is asleep by 8:30. He wakes up on his own around 6:30-6:45
We start our routine at 7pm, by 7:30 she’s in bed but not asleep - she can read/look at books, sometimes we hear her singing to herself or listening to an audio book, she eventually falls asleep - sometimes this is by 8, can be by 9pm.. on some occasions she’ll be asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow… but like clockwork she’ll be awake by 7am next day lol
She is probably too tired my daughter falls asleep in minutes and she is 5 but I only do gymnastics on fridays because I don’t want to mess up our routine
